Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf is said to have begged the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, concerning the allegation of meddling in the Kano emirship crisis levelled at the former police chief.
Yusuf’s apology followed his deputy, Aminu Abdulsalam Gwarzo’s claim that Ribadu had a hand in the return of deposed Emir, Aminu Ado Bayero’s return to Kano, and the deployment of security operatives to protect the sacked monarch, an allegation the NSA denied and threatened to sue his accuser.
The latter in turn, tendered an open apology and also withdrew the statement.
On Thursday, the governor himself apologised to Ribadu at a meeting held at the latter’s office in Abuja.
This is as per Daily Trust citing an unnamed source.
“The governor and the NSA spoke heart-to-heart in Hausa. He appealed verbally to the NSA over the comment made by his deputy last week.
“The governor felt that apologising to him in the media was not enough, hence the reason for the personal visit to Abuja,” the publication quoted the source purportedly privy to the meeting held behind closed doors.
