I Can’t Disown Tinubu, Emir Of Kastina, For The 2023 Presidency

FastNews reports that Dr. Abdulmuminin Kabir Usman, Emir of Katsina, has committed to investigating Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s political ambitions in order to contribute, advise, and correct where necessary.

A statement by Dr. Usman stated that he could not abandon the head of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) if he required his assistance, owing to their long-standing friendship.

“We will look into whatever movement he is into, where we will support where there is a need to support and correct where necessary. I knew Tinubu when he was governor while I was district head and he assisted me in many ways. Now that I am on the throne, he is contesting for president, tell me why I should disown him,” the emir has said.

The emir was speaking in his palace in Katsina when he received members of the Arewa Organisations Movement for Asiwaju led by Senator Abu Ibrahim.

He maintained that with the security challenges raging, particularly in the northern part of the country, which he said was man-made, there was a need to elect somebody with the ability to restore normalcy, and that must be done with all sincerity.

“So, this man that you brought, Tinubu, is home here. He is the son of the soil, and he has done a lot for me. I was in Lagos some three weeks ago, the first since 1967, and I saw how Lagos had transformed, and I concluded that all the country’s wealth is in Lagos, “he said.

The emir said Nigeria is the only country Nigerians have and therefore urged them to avoid myopic sentiments and work together for peace and socio-economic activities to thrive in the country.

Speaking earlier, the leader of the delegation, told the emir that if supported, Tinubu has the wherewithal of addressing the challenges of the country.

He said the delegation was therefore at the emir’s palace to solicit his blessings, support, and advice on the actualization of the dream of the Arewa Organizations Movement for Asiwaju 2023.

The delegation was earlier at the Katsina Government House where they met Governor Aminu Bello Masari on the same mission.
