Katsina state governor, Aminu Bello Masari has said that he will not be vying for any political office after leaving office as a two-term governor in 2023.
According to The Nation, Governor Masari insisted that he has no political ambition ahead of the next general elections, adding that he would prefer to give the opportunity to younger ones.
The Katsina state governor who disclosed this at Government House said that the reason he will not be seeking any political position is that he would be 73 years old by the next election.
Masari who was the former House of Representatives speaker went on to note that fate brought him into politics as he never thought of becoming a politician.

Speaking on his plans for the next general elections in the country, Masari said he plans not to contest and will not retire into the senate like some of his counterparts have done.
He said: "I made my positions very clear, as far as my plans are concerned. I have no intention of contesting any election after this, I never thought I will be a politician and politics was not part of my wildest imagination but fate brought me into politics.
‘’I didn’t drive myself but fate and I never thought being a commissioner will bring me into politics because if I had known, I might have not accepted it because I was not sure that I will be a good politician because I am a technical person and was never an administrator until when I reached the position so my plan is not to contest and not to retire into the senate. I am not going to and God willing by 2023, I will be 73years old and by that time, I am out.’’
