Katsina State Governor, Aminu Masari, has said the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC,\u00a0Bola Tinubu, is better than\u00a0Atiku Abubakar\u00a0and\u00a0Peter Obi.<\/p>\n

The governor stated this during an interview with TVC, in response to a question on the chances of Tinubu, winning the 2023 presidential election.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho is better than him in the political terrain of Nigeria today?\u201d Masari asked.<\/p>\n

When asked about the chances of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party,\u00a0Atiku Abubakar, he said the former Vice President, though formidable, is a \u201dveteran loser.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Atiku is a formidable force but our force is greater than him and he knows that. He is a veteran of contesting elections and also a veteran loser,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The governor dismissed talks that 2023 is Atiku\u2019s best chance of becoming President, saying, \u201cThat was said several times and it never came to pass and this one will never come to pass.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked if Labour Party\u2019s presidential candidate,\u00a0Peter Obi, was better, Masari said: \u201cI don\u2019t know him. Somebody who was a governor of Anambra? Go and ask a Katsina man and the politicians, how many of them know\u00a0Peter Obi? We are talking about a presidential candidate of Nigeria, somebody who has cut all barriers \u2013 tribal, religious, regional, name it.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked if Nigerians of northern extraction were buying into the Tinubu candidacy, Masari replied: \u201cThey\u2019ve already bought into it. First of all, Bola Tinubu is not a new name inthe\u00a0 politics of Nigeria and we, the people of Katsina, know the role played by\u00a0Bola Tinubu\u00a0in 2015 for the emergence of Muhammadu Buhari. We know the support he gave in 2019 for the continuation of Buhari. We, here in Katsina, are not ingrates.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
