President Muhammadu Buhari, yesterday, said Nigerians would be more grateful to God if they knew what other countries in Africa are passing through.
According to an issued statement signed by his Senior Special Assistant (Media and Publicity), Garba Shehu, the President said this in Katsina, during his Sallah homage to the Emir, AbdulMumini Usman.
According to the statement, which was titled: How Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu emerged our flagbearer in APC, President Buhari, the President said the openness and fairness with which the election convention and the nomination convention of the APC were conducted should be seen as the affirmation of the spirit of fairness and openness with which the 2023 general elections will be conducted.
In his remarks, Katsina State Governor, Aminu Bello Masari, noted that many countries in the Sahel like Niger, Chad and Mali were struggling, with some having no stable government, admonishing that social media had empowered many people to put out mischievous and false reports.
While thanking the President for his foresight, wisdom and patience, the Emir of Katsina, in his remarks, urged the President to pay more attention on security and infrastructure.
Usman also made four demands to the President: the immediate implementation of the Cancer Research Centre which had been appropriated for by the Federal Government; the commissioning of the Rimi windmills as promised by the Minister of Power two years back and the resumption of work on Katsina-Kano dual carriageway and the Kano-Maradi rail track.
