Kano State deputy governor, Aminu Gwarzo has apologized to the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu over allegation of his involvement in the return of Emir Ado Bayero to Kano.
Gwarzo had alleged that Ribadu said:"The former Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, is not happy with the peace and understanding being enjoyed in Kano and is using the office of the National Security Adviser to deploy security personnel to subvert the will of Kano people and to bring something the people don't like.
"We act as solicitors to Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, who presently occupies the exalted position of the National Security Adviser and on whose instruction we write this letter. "In all the places he has served, our client has never been accused of any wrongdoing. Given this illustrious background, it is inconceivable that someone would harbour the thought that our client would descend his exalted office so low as to interfere in the local tussle of the Kano Emirate.
"i. retract the libelous allegation in a similar manner you made it as well as give it wide media circulation; and His words:"The office of the national security adviser has refuted the allegations and distanced themselves from what we have alleged," Gwarzo said.There was a problem processing your submission.
