In a statement after the meeting, the governor’s spokesperson Sanusi Bature said the men deliberated on several issues including state/national development and the peaceful coexistence of the nation.
”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,” Governor Yusuf said.
Before now, the NSA had been accused 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 his (Ribadu’s) office.
This led to the Kano State Deputy Governor Aminu Gwarzo apologising to the NSA, attributing his error to flawed intelligence.
The governor’s visit coincided with the Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi II’s six-day stay at the Kano palace.
