<h2>Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, has held a closed-door meeting with the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, as parties involved in the emirship struggle continue to stand their ground.</h2>

The meeting was held at the NSA office in Abuja on Thursday, May 30, 2024.

While details of their discussion were not made public, the Governor said in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that "I had a fruitful engagement" with the NSA "this afternoon in Abuja."

Yusuf also shared photos of himself and Ribadu taken during the engagement.

The meeting comes a few days after the NSA was accused of plotting to reinstall the dethroned emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero.

Governor Yusuf had signed a bill a week ago, <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/news/local/court-orders-bayero-to-stop-parading-himself-as-emir-of-kano/wf51szy" title="Kano Gov meets Ribadu in Abuja as tussle over emirship lingers">dethroning Bayero and three other emirs</a> and reinstalling Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi as Emir of Kano.

Sanusi was presented with a reinstatement letter on Friday, May 24, 2024, and moved into the main palace to start his second stint on the throne.

However, the deposed Emir reportedly <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/news/local/whatever-affects-kano-affects-nigeria-dethroned-emir-demands-justice/sg40cjd" title="Kano Gov meets Ribadu in Abuja as tussle over emirship lingers">attempted to take over the main palace</a> on Saturday after his return to the state from a foreign trip.

The deputy governor of Kano, Comrade Aminu Abdulsalam Gwarzo, later <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/news/local/nobody-will-intimidate-us-for-reinstating-emir-sanusi-ll-deputy-gov-gwarzo/z781rkf" title="Kano Gov meets Ribadu in Abuja as tussle over emirship lingers">accused Ribadu</a> of providing security backing for Bayero and emboldening the deposed emir to stake a claim to the throne.

The NSA promptly denied the allegation and threatened to sue Gwarzo if he didn't apologise within a stipulated period.

The deputy governor has since tendered an unreserved apology to Ribadu, claiming his utterances were influenced by wrong information.
