Masari dismisses rumoured merger to oust APC, calls it ‘regrouping of those who lost political favours’Aminu Masari, the former governor of Katsina, says there is no credible alternative to the All Progressives Congress in Nigeria.
Masari spoke on Sunday in Kafur, Kafur LGA of Katsina, during the inauguration of the campaign for the council’s election scheduled for February 15. The former governor downplayed the news of politicians forming alliances to oust the ruling APC, describing it as a mere regrouping of individuals who lost favour within the party.
“The news making rounds on social media that some politicians are teaming up for a merger is nothing but the regrouping of those who lost political favours in the APC, in terms of appointments or patronage,” Masari said.“Their attempt to form an alliance will not divert the attention of APC from conceiving and implementing programmes that could assuage the pains of the common man.
“You cannot afford to have illiterates, semi-illiterates, and cunning people as your leaders. This is why we end up with the poor leadership we have today,” he said.Tinubu and the political class would not cede power to the younger generation without a fight.
