Tinubu’s re-election in 2027 will sustain dividends of democracy at grassroots: Gov Radda
Governor Dikko Radda says Nigerians re-electing President Bola Tinubu in 2027 will enable state and local governments to continue delivering more dividends of democracy in their respective areas.
Mr Radda gave the assurance on Monday at a gathering for his endorsement and that of President Bola Tinubu, and for a second term, organised by the Concerned Katsina APC Stakeholders.
Federal lawmakers, state lawmakers, LG chairpersons, former governors (Aminu Masari and Ibrahim Shema), elders, and others announced their endorsements.
Mr Radda said that since the president assumed office, he has been releasing funds to the LGs to enable them to move their respective areas forward.
The governor said that some people have been saying so many things against the previous administrations, including Tinubu, but “our concern is what will bring development to the country.
“People of Katsina are happy with what we have been doing. But they are doing that because of the funds he (Mr Tinubu) has been releasing to the states and the LGs.
“This endorsement will give us more encouragement to continue to do more for the people. I assured you that we will not disappoint you,” Mr Radda assured.
The chairman of the group, Ibrahim Ida, said their decision was sequel to the leadership quality displayed by Messrs Tinubu and Radda. He said that their commitment had led to improved quality of life for citizens within two and a half years.
Mr Ida, therefore, called on the electorate to come out en masse to vote for Tinubu and Radda in the 2027 elections.
Deputy Senate President Barau Jibril said he had been to all the states and, in his assessment, Mr Radda was among the hard-working governors in the country. He said that was what qualified him for re-election, calling the endorsement timely.
Mr Jibril said that currently, 29 states belong to the APC, pointing out that the party was gaining more recognition because of what Tinubu has been doing to improve citizens’ living conditions and develop the country.
In his remarks, the APC national chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, expressed delight at the way members of other political parties were joining the APC.
He commended Mr Radda for transforming the state and further said that he has seen good roads, schools, health facilities, and drinking water, provided to improve the living conditions of the citizens.
The national chairman further urged the governor to continue the good work in developing the entire state.
