“So far, the APC governorship candidate has visited six out of the 12 LGAs in Katsina North Senatorial District. He has visited over 60 wards in the six areas.
“In Daura, he visited Buhari and told him that the visit was to see for himself the situation people were in with a view to getting first-hand information on where his attention would be needed when he became governor,” Abdulkadir noted.
