(VIDEO) I don’t know if I will contest for ‘second term’ – Masari

Governor Aminu Bello Masari of Katsina state has provided insight for the first time as to his plans after he finishes his first term as Governor of Katsina State in 2019.

The Governor was a guest in a Television station TVC news on Friday in Lagos where he was fielding questions about his administration so far.
During the interview, the Governor was asked if he will seek for re-election in 2019 after he finished his first term and he gave a rather simple and short answer when he said “I don’t know’. He was further pressed by the news anchor but he remained adamant to his first answer of ‘I don’t know’.
The Governor has during the 11 minutes interview summarised what he has done and is doing in the critical sectors of the state like the education, health and security.
The Governor also answered with a smiling face when he was asked to comment of Shema’s allegations on him that he is witch-hunting him to which he denied and termed as ‘false’.
