Killings are sponsored by those against Buhari's re-election - Emir of Katsina

Emir of Katsina, Dr. Abdulmumini Kabiru Usman has accused those against President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election as being responsible for sponsoring of current killings ravaging the country.

The monarch stated this during President Muhammadu Buhari condolence visit to his palace over the death of Chief Imam of Katsina Central Mosque, Alhaji Muhammadu Lawal, 95, who died on Sunday.

According to the Vanguard, the Emir said “Those who don’t want you re-elected and who don’t want your government to succeed are behind the current killings ravaging the country. More than 80 per cent of these crises are being sponsored by individuals.

“It is designed to discredit and bring down your government but they will not succeed. We will continue to pray for you and, therefore, urge Nigerians to join us in praying.”
