2023: Why I’m Backing Tinubu’s Presidential Ambition – Emir Of Katsina

The Emir of Katsina, Dr. Abdulmuminin Kabir Usman, has revealed why he is backing the presidential ambition of the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Usman said he is supporting Tinubu to become the next president in 2023 because the presidential hopeful assisted him in many ways when he was a district head.

The monarch said he will contribute to the campaign of the former governor of Lagos and advise him where necessary considering their long-standing relationship.

He made this known on Friday when he received members of the Arewa Organisations Movement for Asiwaju led by Senator Abu Ibrahim at his palace in Katsina.

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

“So, this man that you brought, Tinubu, is home here, he is 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 have seen how Lagos is transformed and I concluded that all the country’s wealth is in Lagos.”

He maintained that Tinubu is the only person that can solve the security challenges facing the north and has the ability to return normalcy to the region.

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 Organisations Movement for Asiwaju 2023.
