Masari also assured that the secretariat project would be completed ahead of the expiration of his tenure, saying part of the activities marking the inauguration of the APC governor of the state, if elected, would likely be held on May 29, 2023, in the complex.

He noted that the amount realized so far would go a long way in the ongoing construction or completion of the party Secretariat.

The highest donation of N50m at the event came from the chief launcher, Arc. Kabir Ibrahim Faskari, followed by N30m from Alhaji Dahiru Mangal, and the donations from Governor Masari and his Zamfara State Counterpart, Bello Matawalle among others.
