Addressing crowd of supporters earlier at the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camp in the state capital, he recalled how he was chosen by late former president, Yar’Adua, to be his deputy in 2007. Jonathan, therefore, assured them that as president, he would do anything required by Katsina people, even before they asked. “But for you, I would not have been here today. It was your own son that brought me as his deputy. Anything that you want from me, we will do it without you asking for it,” he said. Jonathan noted that his administration provided Katsina State a federal university because it was not impressed that as a cradle of western education, the state was not served by a federal university. The president said his administration had also established 38 almajiri schools in the state with about 18,000 pupils. On insecurity in the North, he observed that it was a problem facing other countries of the world, adding that his administration had been able to deal with the situation so far because of its focus. Jonathan asked them to vote for him and Sambo to enable them to continue to work for the peace and progress of the state. Vice President Sambo, in his remarks, stressed that the Jonathan-led administration had given adequate attention to Muslims in his administration, in spite of being a Christian.
