BEVERLY HILLS, September 27, (THEWILL) – Katsina State Governor, Aminu Bello Masari, has stated that unlike the case with other presidents in the past, Katsina is not receiving any special advantage because President Muhammadu Buhari hails from there.
He stated that in contrast with what obtained with past administrations where indigenes of a particular state were above the law and reckless because the president was from their state, Buhari’s disposition does not encourage such behaviour.
The governor then stated that indigenes of the states have chosen to be responsible and live above board despite coming from the President’s state, disclosing also that jets have not been trooping to Katsina state to see Buhari in his home state.
Speaking in an interview with The Sun, the former Speaker of the House of Representatives said, “You know this president is not somebody who will take projects to Katsina because he is from Katsina.
“Of course some investing companies or some ministries when you go and say you are from Katsina, they may look at you as somebody coming from the President’s state naturally, but for him to put a project in Katsina because it is his state, it won’t happen.
“So it is no longer business as usual, I mean then, when you have a president from a state, everybody will be trooping there.
“How many jets have you seen here since he has been here? If it was the other time this place would have become a Mecca of some sought.
“Even I, in my small house here would have become a king. But this is not the kind of president we have. These are the kind of leaders the nation needs.”
