Emir of Katsina Warns APC's Yari on Political Accountability

The Emir of Katsina, Abdulmumini Usman, issued a warning to Abdulaziz Yari, the director-general of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council, regarding the potential consequences if President Bola Tinubu does not fulfill his campaign promises. This warning was made during Yari's visit to the emir's palace in Katsina on Thursday, as part of consultations for Tinubu's re-election bid.

Usman cautioned politicians against making unfulfillable promises, asserting that they would be held accountable for their actions. He stressed the responsibility of traditional rulers to convey the truth to political leaders and warned that those who treat people poorly would face negative repercussions.

Usman criticized the current political climate, where personal interests overshadow public good, and expressed concern over divisions within the north-west region. He used a Hausa proverb to illustrate the severity of these divisions, stating that the unity of the region has significantly deteriorated.
