While presenting his last budget as Governor of Katsina State to the state House of Assembly last Tuesday, Governor Bello Masari, wept profusely. Ejiofor Alike writes that while the governor has every reason to weep for leaving the state more ravaged by bandits than he met it, his loyalists believe that he would miss the cordial relationship with the state’s lawmakers
Though the governor had earlier told the lawmakers that he might be emotional while presenting the budget, he composed himself until towards the end of his speech when he broke down in tears. However, his opponents believe that he wept because he would leave the state worse than he met it in terms of insecurity. Masari inherited a very peaceful state but would be handing over a state where bandits incessantly kill and kidnap people for ransom, a state where farmers pay taxes to bandits to access their farms.
The governor reiterated this call on August 2021, during a condolence visit to Jibia Local Government Area, where eight persons had died after the driver of a vehicle belonging to the Nigerian Customs Service lost control and ran over them. Also while speaking at President Muhammadu Buhari’s house in Daura on December 28, 2021, the governor repeated his call for self-defence.
Despite his failure to secure his people, he still told the state lawmakers during the budget presentation that he expected the people to vote for the APC in 2023 elections.
