The Kano State Government has issued an apology to the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, regarding accusations of his involvement in the ongoing emirship tussle in the state.
Deputy Governor Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo had previously accused Ribadu of facilitating the return of the dethroned 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, according to a report by Daily Trust.
Ribadu denied any involvement and threatened legal action against the deputy governor. However, Gwarzo retracted his accusation during a briefing at the Government House on Sunday, admitting the state government had been misled.
“We investigated further and found out that we were deeply misled and on this note, on behalf of the State Government, we wish to apologize to the NSA,” Gwarzo stated.
