I Cannot Look My People In The Eyes, I Have Failed To Protect Them --Katsina Governor, Masari

Aminu Masari, governor of Katsina State, has said he has failed in his primary responsibility of safeguarding the lives and properties of residents within his state. Masari made the comments while speaking with journalists in Katsina, The Cable reports.  He said, “I don’t know what to tell them.

And that was what happened. “That time there was this so-called Kano Elders Forum that tried to also frustrate the reform process.
