Kano State’s Deputy Governor, Aminu Gwarzo, has extended an apology to the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, for implicating him in the ongoing emirship dispute in the state.
Previously, Gwarzo had alleged Ribadu’s involvement in facilitating the return of the deposed Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, to the state, suggesting the provision of private jets. However, Ribadu refuted the claims and threatened legal recourse.
Addressing the matter at a press conference in the Government House, Kano, Gwarzo expressed regret over the misinformation, clarifying the government’s stance.
“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 stated.
He admitted to the government’s error in assuming Ribadu’s involvement and extended formal apologies for any unwarranted inconvenience caused.
“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,” Gwarzo affirmed.
