From: Femi Oyelola in Kaduna
Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for appointing Alhaji Ibrahim Kabir Masari as his Senior Special Assistant on Political Affairs, describing the choice as “excellent.”
The Governor made this statement as the Special Guest of Honor at Alhaji Ibrahim Masari’s Foundation Cash Empowerment Programme, held in Malumfashi, Katsina State, on Sunday.
He noted that President Tinubu did not merely appoint Masari as an aide but holds him in very high regard. Sani emphasized that Masari’s influence is felt not only in Katsina State or in the north, but across the country.
“Throughout the nation, Alhaji Ibrahim Masari is known to be a good man, as the president himself has stated. We take pride in his remarkable qualities. Last year, he made cash donations to some of his constituents, and this year, he is doing the same again,” he said.
Governor Uba Sani reiterated that the cash donations to underprivileged individuals aim to promote self-reliance and boost local businesses, advising beneficiaries to use the funds wisely.
He also commended Governor Umar Dikko Radda of Katsina State, whom he referred to as his brother and confidant, for his support of the Ibrahim Masari Foundation.
Earlier, Governor Radda expressed that Katsina State is fortunate to have Alhaji Ibrahim Masari in the corridors of Aso Rock, stating that Masari’s presence has brought significant benefits to the state.
According to him, Katsina State has benefited from Federal Government appointments, contracts, and other perks of democracy, “for which we are grateful.”
Governor Radda assured that the APC is firmly established in Katsina State and that the people will vote for President Tinubu in the 2027 election. He added, “We are currently visiting local governments and celebrating with the people.”
He stated that all prominent politicians in Katsina State belong to the APC, remarking that “any politician you see elsewhere is just making noise. We are thankful for the people’s support.”
In his remarks, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, described Masari not just as a politician operating at the national level but as a grassroots politician.
He emphasized that the cash donations made by the Ibrahim Masari Foundation to his constituents align with the APC’s principle of empowerment, stating, “This is the most fundamental need in the north.”
He pointed out that statistics indicate the north, particularly the North West, is multidimensionally poor. He praised Masari for returning home to initiate empowerment programs, saying, “He is actively addressing this issue.”
The National Chairman expressed gratitude to Governor Radda for fostering a united Katsina State, adding that this unity will translate into more votes for the party in 2027.
The Alhaji Ibrahim Masari Foundation distributed N300,000 each to 1,000 business owners in Malumfashi and Kafur local governments as part of its annual empowerment program on Sunday.
Governor Uba Sani, Alhaji Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya (Governor of Gombe State), and Alhaji Mai Mala Buni (Governor of Yobe State), along with host Governor Radda, attended the event. The National Chairman of APC, Prof. Yilwatda, members of the National Working Committee, members of the State and National Assembly, and traditional rulers also graced the occasion.
