Gov. Masari Lists Buhari's Achievements, Says No Govt Has Done Better | READ DETAILS

Masari made this assertion when the President paid Sallah homage to the Emir of Daura in Katsina state.

"No government in the history of this country has done more to reduce poverty like President Buhari's administration. He asked religious and community leaders to bring enlightenment to bear on successful government programs such as the Social Investment Program, SIP through which 120,000 poor citizens in 12 Local Government Areas of the state receive a monthly payment of N5,000 and this is happening in all the states.

"Today, we have over 863,000 children in the state being fed under the school feeding program. This has created 10,000 jobs for women cooks, 14,000 young men and women enrolled in N-Power.

"We have food vendors who are engaged and earning their livelihood. All the foolish talk on social media is by those who only think of themselves. Our elites are never happy or appreciative until something gets to their pockets,ÔÇØ he said.

Masari said security in the country had improved considerably, compared to when the President came into power, reminding the Daura Emirate Council, title holders, political leaders in the state and citizens across the entire federation to remember the bombings if mosques and churches before 2015 that had hindered worship, problems which explained are no longer with us.

"Human beings forget easily. It is true that we have not reached where we want, but efforts are being made to ameliorate the situation. Look at the size of our security compared to the population, you will know we all have to be involved in securing the country,ÔÇØ he added.

On his own part, the Emir of Daura, Alhaji Faruk Umar Faruk, thanked the President for the infrastructural and institutional developments in the state, saying generations will remember and remain grateful to President Buhari.

He urged Buhari to increase his patience and tolerance as he begins to countdown, knowing that the ultimate reward for all his sacrifice will come from God.

"All Nigerians, both good and bad, know you are doing your best. In life you will have people who like you, and those who do not like you. If you have many wives, or many children, they will not like you equally.

"Some are insulting you and belittling your efforts now. Don't worry. They will do the same thing to the next president.

"Keep doing your best, and remain tolerant as a leader. In Daura here, even the blind or the leader of all the blinds know that you have made a great difference. We are grateful, and proud of you,ÔÇØ the Emir said.
