Atiku is a formidable force but a veteran loser - Masari
Speaking on the chances of presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, Governor Masari said:
“I think Atiku is a formidable force but our force is greater than him and he knows that. He is a veteran of contesting elections and also a veteran loser.”
The Katsina state governor dismissed talks that 2023 is Atiku’s best chance of becoming president.
When asked if northerners were buying into the Tinubu candidacy, Masari said:
“They’ve already bought into it. First of all, Bola is not a new name in politics of Nigeria and we, the people of Katsina, know the role played by Bola Tinubu in 2015 for the emergence of Muhammadu Buhari.
"We know the support he gave in 2019 for the continuation of Muhammadu Buhari. We, here in Katsina, are not ingrates.”
2023: I don't know Peter Obi - Masari
Asked if the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, was a better presidential candidate, Governor Masari said:
“I don’t know him. Somebody who was a governor of Anambra? Go and ask a Katsina man and the politicians, how many of them know Peter Obi? We are talking about a presidential candidate of Nigeria, somebody who has cut all barriers – tribal, religious, regional, name it.”
