Buhari hasn’t disappointed Nigerians, he’s even enduring rubbish – Masari

Katsina State Governor, Aminu Bello Masari, has disclosed that in contrast to the opinions in a number of regions, President Muhammadu Buhari has not disappointed Nigerians.

Masari who talked in a Television Continental interview monitored by Top Naija on Sunday, however, declared that Nigerians should laud Buhari for putting up with “rubbish from some people.”

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”

He depicted the All Progressives Congress (APC) as “the strongest, most reliable, and dependable party in Nigeria today.”

Masari added that the discussion between his régime and the bandits failed because the criminals were not coordinated under a known governance.

He stated, “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 organised leadership or umbrella. They are in various groups and categories.”
