The Governor of Katsina State, Aminu Masari says it won’t be fair for Katsina to produce another president in the nearest future having produced late President Umar Musa Yar’Adua and incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari.
He stated this in his Democracy Day address while disclosing that he would not be seeking another elective post at the end of his second term in 2023.
Masari, who is a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, said he would not be seeking the presidency nor a seat in the Senate.

Explaining why this was so, the Katsina governor said, “Common sense. First of all, I was in the House of Representatives. I was Speaker for four years. So, I have no intention of going back to the National Assembly by contesting the Senate seat or any other seat.
“I was Deputy National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress when it was created. So, I am not interested in party office.
“I think Katsina is lucky to have produced three Heads of State. Before President Muhammad Buhari, we had President Umaru Musa Yar’adua.
“I think for anybody in Katsina State to say that he is looking for something, I don’t think we are being fair.
“So really, I have no plans, neither do I have intention of contesting for any political office in 2023,” Masari said.
