2023 Katsina Governorship: Dangiwa, Radda campaign organisations team up

“We decided to merge with the campaign council of Radda to work for the victory of the party in the secondary election.”

• June 14, 2022

The campaign council of Ahmad Dangiwa, who failed to clinch the APC gubernatorial ticket at the party’s primary, has teamed up with governorship candidate Umar Radda.
Mr Dangiwa disclosed this while addressing journalists in Katsina on Tuesday.

“As a Muslim, I believe in destiny, when the outcome of the election was announced, I accepted it in good faith. If there is only one elective position and so many people are contesting for it, it is natural that it’s only one person that will emerge,” stated Mr Dangiwa. “Therefore, after due consultation with my campaign council, we decided to merge with the campaign council of Radda to work for the victory of the party in the secondary election. It is on this note that I address the press, to know my stand on the 2023 upcoming gubernatorial election in the state.”

Mr Radda, present at the conference, commended his rival for the courage to work with him for the success of the party ahead of the 2023 general elections.

He pledged to accommodate Mr Dangiwa and his campaign council for a successful outing.
