The Emir of Katsina, Dr. Abdul-Mummuni Kabir, has made it clear that President Muhammad Buhari cannot solve within a year, the economic blunder which was committed by the government of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 16 years.
“The President cannot solve the economic blunder committed in 16 years within one year. President Buhari needs some time to marshal plans that will solve the several challenges facing the country.”
The Emir who spoke at the inauguration of a book on family lineage of late chief Imam of Kano residing in Katsina, Muhammad Zaharaddeen, on Saturday in Katsina, lamented what he called the blame game being unleashed on President Buhari by those he called some disgruntled people.
Alhaji Kabir advised Nigerians to rally round and support Buhari to enable him discharge his duties for the betterment of the people, adding “the President needs the support and prayers of his brothers and sisters from the North to overcome the several problems facing the North and the country.”
The emir commended the author for writing the book on his family lineage that migrated to Katsina in 1894 during Hausa/Fulani civil wars.
He said that the book will serve as a reference material for history students in tertiary institutions in the state.
Earlier, Governor Aminu Masari called on thed citizens to emulate the late chief imam’s family by promoting both western and Islamic education.
“This prominent family has produced lawyers, doctors, university professors, administrators and politicians.’’
Masari said that the family had some prominent politicians like Secretary to the Government of Katsina State, Alhaji Mustapha Inuwa and Senator Hadi Sirike, a serving minister in Buhari’s Administration.
NAN reports that the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammad Sanusi, who was the chief launcher of the book, donated N1 million. Over N5 million was realized at the launch.
The book is written by the former correspondent of BBC Hausa Service, Aminu Abdullahi. [myad]
