2019: Katsina Pensioners To Purchase Nomination Form For Masari

Ahead of the 2019 gubernatorial election in Katsina State, the Association of State Pensioners has promised to obtain governorship nomination form for Governor Aminu Bello Masari.

This was disclosed in a statement signed by Ibrahim Abdullah, the Director General of the Katsina State government media, on Friday.

The promise was made when the Association’s leadership visited the Governor, at his office at the Muhammadu Buhari House, the state capital, on Friday.

The chairman of the pensioners also appreciated the Masari-led administration by his consideration to the pensioners, adding that none of the 36 states have been taken care of as done in Katsina.

Narrating their relationship with the governor, the chairman said, “We had in 2015 written to all the aspirants of which they all responded, what makes yours unique is the way you have fulfilled them.

“When we submitted the list of staff, your commitment to form the 33% benefits committees, it went beyond that which you had settled us all.”

He also reminded Masari on their need for a utility vehicle and further briefed the governor on their upcoming elections.

Katsina Media and Publicity correspondent reported that while responding, the governor appreciated them and also stated that it is not a privilege to pay them but it is a matter of right.

Masari noted that it is even religious to repay those who exhausted their youthfulness in serving humanity.

He further promised continuous care to the pensioners as all efforts are currently on ground to settle all outstanding arrears to cater for their welfare.
