The Deputy Governor of Kano State, Aminu Gwarzo, has apologized to the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, for implicating him in the ongoing emirship dispute in the state.
Gwarzo had alleged that Ribadu played a role in the return of the deposed Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, to the state by providing him with private jets.
However, Ribadu denied the accusations and threatened legal action.
At a press conference at the Government House, Kano, on Monday, Gwarzo apologized 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.
