The Governor of Katsina state Aminu Masari on Monday said that the All Progressive Congress (APC) Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has donated N100M to the families of the vigilantes murdered by terrorists and all those affected by the attacks in Bakori Local Government Area of Katsina. The Governor disclosed the above during APC’s Presidential campaign rally in the state, noting that his government was doing its best to end the spate of insecurity confronting the state. Governor Masari expressed gratitude to Tinubu for the donation to the families of all those affected by the attacks. He prayed to God almighty to forgive the souls of over 40 volunteers recently killed by terrorists in the state, and expose the perpetrators.


Gov. Masari informed the gathering that leadership is not a matter of joke, adding that, “it is an issue that needs people that are capable of delivering.”

“When you play with leadership for a second, you will face the consequences for years.

“The earlier opportunity the other people had, they didn’t utilise it to help Nigerians, but the little we had, everybody has seen what we have done.

“There was never a time that women and youths were involved in politics and election like now, because President Muhammad Buhari had brought a lot of empowerment programmes.

“Especially here in Katsina, over N37 billion was shared among the low income people in the state within just six years.

“Therefore, you should shun anyone telling you lies. You should vote for APC in the forthcoming elections,” he said.

Tinubu condoled with President Buhari and Masari over the unfortunate incident.

“Yesterday, we discussed whether we should continue or cancel the rally. If we had cancelled, they’ll appear to have achieved their aim.

“Nothing happens in life without the will of the Almighty Allah. We’ll continue with our rallies, and ignore the killers. They’ve committed a heinous crime before God and against humanity. No religion or society will tolerate killing of the innocent.

“We share in the pain, and sorrow of loss. Only Allah can soothe the pains of the widows and widowers, and all the loved ones. The killers have not won, and they will never win. The wicked shall perish. We’ll defeat the troublers of Nigeria,’’ he said.
