THE Kano State Government has apologised to the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu over the allegation of his involvement in the ongoing emirship tussle in the state.
This newspaper reported that the Deputy Governor, Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, had accused the NSA of facilitating the return of the dethroned 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, to the state.
Ribadu had denied his involvement in the case, threatening legal action against the deputy governor.
But at a press conference at the Government House, Kano, late Sunday, Gwarzo apologised to Ribadu, clarifying that the government was misinformed about his involvement in the ongoing crisis.
“The Office of the National Security Adviser has refuted the allegations and distanced themselves from what we have alleged.
“I have seen it, he has done it through three media, and today, I have seen the one about going to court.
“We have to acknowledge that we have been misled into believing that the NSA was behind the happenings along this line,” Gwarzo said.
He said they were shocked from the outset when Ribadu’s name was mentioned in the plot to impose the deposed emir.
“We apologise to the National Security Adviser, his person and office for any embarrassment and inconveniences this might have caused him
“We are human and can err at any time. On my behalf and the Governor of Kano State, I want to assure the NSA of our continued support and cooperation in discharging his duty as the NSA,” he stated.
