The fifth Waziri of Katsina, Sani Lugga, has called on “weak” and “incapable” politicians to stay away from seeking elective offices, arguing they have no business being in government.
He said there was a strong connection between the growing insecurity, poverty and the unemployment rate in the North-west. “If leaders can’t protect their people from being killed or help them be economically self reliant, as Muslim, we know that God said he only gives you responsibilities that you can undertake. If you’re weak and incapable, why contest in the first place? You know you can’t do it, why then as a leader would you come to ask people to defend themselves with a catapult for instance?
