Yesterday's visit to the Presidential Villa was Sanusi's second since he became the Emir of Kano.
The first was initiated by the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa'ad Abubakar last July during the Ramadan.
The monarch arrived at the State House with elders and aides about two hours before President Jonathan left for the headquarters of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to pick his presidential nomination form for the 2015 election.
Sanusi declined to talk to State House correspondents when he came out of the meeting after an hour.
The monarch was ushered by his royal guards into his antique right-hand drive Roll Royce saloon and was driven off as he acknowledged greetings from State House officials.

Presidency sources said yesterday's meeting was for reconciliation between the two sides.
They disclosed that the two leaders discussed how to ensure peaceful coexistence in the country.

Sambo Dasuki, Attorney-General of the Federation, Mohammed Adoke, and the Foreign Affairs Minister, Aminu Wali, were also in attendance.
