Aminu Masari, governor of Katsina, says he will retire to
his farm after his tenure as governor of the state.
Masari was first elected governor in 2015 and re-elected in
2019.
The 71-year-old politician had also served as speaker, house
of representatives, between 2003 and 2007.
While briefing journalists as part of activities to mark
Democracy Day in Katsina on Saturday, the governor said he’s held several
positions and there’s nothing else he’s looking for.
“I have held various
positions from commissioner in Katsina state, to the national assembly where I
served as speaker of the House of Representatives,” he said.
“I am still serving my people as the governor of Katsina
state. Therefore, what else am I looking for again.
“My people from Katsina, like the late Umaru Musa Yar’adua,
contested for president and won, Muhammadu Buhari the same thing, he even
served as military head of state.
“I think it is better
we leave the stage for other people from other places.”
According to him, his main concern now is how to fulfill his
restoration agenda, which is to rehabilitate all decayed infrastructure and
bring back the past glories of the state.
“After I have satisfactorily succeeded in doing that, I will
retire to my farm,” the governor added.
