Governor Aminu Bello Masari of Katsina State has showered praises on the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), saying the president’s rating in the country has not plummeted.
Masari, who appeared in a Television Continental interview on Sunday, explained that contrary to the views in some quarters, the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has not failed Nigerians.
He also noted that unlike a former civilian president in Nigeria, Buhari has tolerated “rubbish from some people” and should be commended.
The governor failed to mention the ex-president he was referring to. But WuzupNigeria notes that before the regime of Buhari, ex-presidents Olusegun Obasanjo, Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and Goodluck Jonathan, all of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), had governed the West African country.
Masari 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 described the All Progressives Congress as “the strongest, most reliable, and dependable party in Nigeria today.”
