The President told family members of the late Chief Imam to take solace in
the fact the religious leader lived a fulfilled and God-fearing life,
praying that God will grant the deceased rest and comfort his family.
In his remarks, the Emir of Katsina commended the president for his
forthrightness, steadfastness and patriotism in providing good leadership
for the country, assuring him that God will always protect him against
enemies of progress.
Alhaji Usman said the myriad security challenges facing the country were
the handiwork of detractors, who want to discredit the President, urging
him to remain resolute and focused in finding lasting solutions to the
problems faced by ordinary Nigerians.
“Most of the issues in security are deliberately created by detractors to
distract you from the good work you are doing and I can assure you, by
God’s grace, they will not succeed,’’ he said.
“As far as we are concerned,’’ he said, “you are doing a good job to clean
up the country and restore it on the path of honour and dignity.’’
President Buhari, who was in Daura-Katsina for the All Progressives
Party’s Ward Congress, returned to Abuja after the visit.
