Kano State Deputy Governor, Aminu Gwarzo, has retracted his statement accusing the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, of interfering in the Kano emirate tussle. At a press conference held late Sunday, the deputy governor issued a formal apology to the NSA, acknowledging that his initial statement was misguided.
“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,” Gwarzo stated.
He expressed regret over the misinformation that led to the accusations against Ribadu. “We have to acknowledge that we have been misled into believing that the NSA was behind the happenings along this line,” Gwarzo said.
“We apologise to the National Security Adviser, his person and office for any embarrassment and inconveniences this might have caused him.”
Gwarzo emphasized the fallibility of human judgment, saying, “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.”
