The rally, which held at the Muhammadu Dikko Stadium, was converted into a prayer session against the increasing wave of banditry in the state.
No fewer than 80 people were killed by bandits in an attack in Bakori Local Government Area at the weekend.
Tinubu saluted those who summoned courage to attend the rally in spite of the tragedy, as he expressed condolences to the government and people of Katsina State.
He said he would work hard to eliminate banditry in the state.
Tinubu said: “Yesterday, we discussed whether we should continue or cancel the rally. If we had cancelled, they will appear to have achieved their aim.
“Nothing happens in life without the will of the Almighty Allah. We will continue with our rallies, and ignore the killers. They have committed a heinous crime before God and against humanity.
No religion or society will tolerate killing of the innocent.
“We share in the pain, and sorrow of loss. Only Allah can soothe the pains of the widows and widowers, and all the loved ones. The killers have not won, and they will never win. The wicked shall perish. We will defeat the troublers of Nigeria.”
Tinubu said President Buhari abhors violence, unfairness and injustice, and would not tolerate the mayhem by the terrorists.
He added: “President Buhari will never harm anyone. He wants peace, protection of citizens and progress. We will work with the President. He is a progressive leader.
“We will definitely deal with them. They will not go scot-free. Whether they derive some moment of joy or satisfaction, we are saying we are courageous, we are strong, we believe in Allah and we will defeat them. They are evil. We will eliminate them.”
Tinubu also gave kudos to security agents, assuring them that their sacrifice would be rewarded.
