The Emir of Katsina, Alhaji Abdullah Mohammed Kabir Usman, has called on Nigerians to rally behind President Muhammadu Buhari through prayers and support so that he can fulfil his electoral promises rather than abusing and condemning his administration.

He said: “Our previous prayers have led to the event we are witnessing today. Let’s continue to pray for our leaders and for one another and being one another’s keeper. We the traditional rulers shall continue to give advice to governments where necessary.
“The battle for this project has spanned over 40 years. God has provided us with the opportunity for the completion of this project through President Buhari and supported by Governor Masari.
“He who gives water gives life. Anyone who is abusing or unjustly criticising President Buhari is abusing himself. The President needs our prayers for God to strengthen him.”
