Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf has visited the National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu, at the Office of the National Security Adviser in Abuja.
The visit was prompted by the ongoing emirate tussle between Muhammadu Sanusi II and Emir Aminu Ado Bayero following the abrogation of four emirates by the Kano State House of Assembly last week.
After the repeal of the 2019 emirates law, Governor Yusuf reinstated Sanusi II as emir..
A statement issued by the governor’s Spokesperson, Sanusi Bature, on Thursday said the two Yusuf and NSA deliberated on various matters relating to state, and national development and the peaceful coexistence of the nation during the meeting.
“It was a fruitful discussion between myself and the National Security Adviser, his role is critical for the harmonious existence of our nation, so I briefed him on the recent developments in Kano,” the governor was quoted to have said in the statement.
At the weekend, Kano State Deputy Governor Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo had accused Mr Ribadu of involvement in the Kano crisis for allowing a substantial military presence to protect the removed Emir Aminu Ado Bayero, a position swiftly discredited by the Office of the NSA.
Mr Gwarzo later later apologized to the NSA, attributing the error to flawed intelligence.
