Governor Aminu Bello Masari of Katsina State, has announced that he will quit active politics when his current term expires in 2023. Masari said that by the end of his term, he would have been 73 years old, and would prefer to work at the background. “I will retire. By the time I leave Office, I will be 73 years, and at that age, I will need to rest”, he said in an interview.
The Governor first served in the House of Representatives, where he became the Speaker of the Lower Chamber, between 2003 and 2007. Asked how he was able to silence the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the State, Masari said: “Governance is like politics. Some matters are on the table, while others are under the table.
“There is politics of campaign normally in the daytime, but then, we have politics of meeting people, talking to them, and making them understand. That was why the people come out here en masse.” He noted that since President Muhammadu Buhari is from Katsina, it is necessary that the Politicians in the State support him, irrespective of political leanings.
