Governor Dikko Radda has congratulated Murtala Aliyu-Kankia on his emergence as the legal adviser of the All Progressives Congress.

In a statement by his chief press secretary, Ibrahim Kaula-Mohammed, Mr Radda described the emergence of Mr Aliyu-Kankia as a sign of the party’s trust in his professionalism, integrity, and sound legal leadership.

According to him, the appointment is well-deserved and timely, especially as the party works to strengthen unity and uphold internal democracy.

“Aliyu-Kankia’s long experience in public service and in the legal field makes him the right person for the job. APC will benefit greatly from his calm nature, legal knowledge, and strong sense of justice,” he said.

He said Mr Aliyu-Kankia’s past service as a federal commissioner and acting chairman of the Code of Conduct Bureau demonstrated his leadership capacity.

The Katsina governor expressed confidence that, under Mr Aliyu-Kankia’s watch, the party’s legal work would be based on transparency, due process, and respect for constitutional values.

“On behalf of the government and people of Katsina State, I congratulate our dear son, Murtala Aliyu-Kankia, on this new national role. May Almighty Allah guide him as he serves the party and the country. We believe the APC’s legal affairs are in safe hands,” Radda said.

Mr Aliyu-Kankia hails from Kankia LGA in Katsina.
