The Governor of Katsina State, Aminu Masari has disclosed why he and other northern governors of APC supported the presidential ambition of the President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Masari who made the disclosure on Thursday in Daura during a farewell visit to the Emir of Daura, Umar Faruq-Umar, stated that the northern governors supported the President-elect to respect the party’s zoning formula.
He said, “God had saved us from shame during the last general elections in the country where our party, the All Progressives Congress APC recorded huge successes.
“Anyone in this country with foresight should thank God again because had it been our party did not win the election, people may think that the federal government failed Nigerians.
“Whatever someone planned in this country, God has helped President Muhammad Buhari to defend his integrity because if we had failed in the election, he would be the first to be blamed.
“Those with foresight have seen that, especially we, the governors from the north under the APC. We have seen attempts to tarnish the image of Buhari.
“Everybody knows that all the political parties believe in zoning, but some people in our party wanted to keep that aside, but we rejected their attempt.”
