“My people from Katsina, like the late Umaru Musa Yar’adua contested for President and won, Muhammadu Buhari the same thing, he even served as military Head of State.

“I think it is better we leave the stage for other people from other places.”

Masari said his main concern, for now, is how to fulfill his Restoration Agenda and rehabilitate the decayed infrastructure in the state.

“After I have satisfactorily succeeded in doing that, I will retire to my farm,” the governor added.
