Governor Aminu Masari’s government has declared Thursday and Friday as a holiday for Katsina workers to receive President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Security officials and we the government are who the people rely on to protect them, and we have failed in doing so.”

“Law enforcement agents have been mandated to deal ruthlessly with any political thug disturbing the state’s peace.”
“Any person or group that contravenes the provisions will be charged for an offence punishable under section 114 of the penal code law.”
The governor said, “Go to the border towns and see. People are coming in and going out with goods at will.”
“When you put the two together, we will restore normalcy. It is not beyond us to do that,” Masari asserted.
