Buhari is tolerating “rubbish from some people”- Masari

Katsina State Governor, Aminu Bello Masari, has noted that contrary to popular views, President Muhammadu Buhari has not failed Nigerians, rather he should be commended for tolerating “rubbish from some people.”

Masari made this statement during an interview on Television Continental (TVC) on Sunday.

He said, “The rating of the President has not changed. Anybody saying that the rating of the Buhari administration has gone down should wait till when we would have an election.

“Protests are necessary in a democracy. Even in the best democracy in the world,  people protest. The fact that we have democracy does not mean that people should not complain or protest.

“I don’t think Buhari has failed us, I think he has tolerated us. We once had a civilian president who couldn’t take the rubbish that Buhari is taking from some people.”

The governor also described the All Progressives Congress (APC) as “the strongest, most reliable, and dependable party in Nigeria today.”

Concerning the issue of banditry, Masari said the dialogue between his government and the bandits collapsed because the criminals were not organized under a known leadership.

“I started the idea of dialogue with bandits way back in 2016 in collaboration with the heads of security agencies and we visited areas where the bandits were in charge.

“Some of them laid down their arms but the agitation continues and it escalated last year with the kidnap of the Kankara boys.

“The previous dialogue failed because the bandits are not under an organized leadership or umbrella. They are in various groups and categories,” he said.
