APC Sweeping Victory Across 34 LGs in Katsina Reflects Public Confidence in Our Party - Governor Radda

Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, has extended congratulations to the 34 newly elected local government chairmen in Katsina, following Saturday's council elections.

The Governor, in his congratulatory message hailed the peaceful and transparent electoral process that marked the undeniable milestone in the state's democracy journey.

"The peaceful conduct of yesterday's elections is nothing but a show of maturity of our democracy and the commitment of our people to peaceful political participation," Governor Radda said.

The Governor added that the absence of electoral violence and the impressive voter turnout was as a result of citizens' dedication to democratic principles.

"The sweeping victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) across the local governments reflects public confidence in our party's governance. More importantly, the overwhelming mandate validates noticeable investment we have built in the people of Katsina State and the various development projects we have initiated since assuming office," Governor Radda asserted.

In the Governor's message to the chairmen-elect, Radda advocated for the importance of aligning with the state's "Building Your Future" agenda.

"This development framework must be replicated at the grassroots level to ensure uniform progress in our state," the Governor explained.

Governor Radda particularly hammered on the need to sustain and strengthen the State Government Community Development Programme (CDP).

The Governor further charged the incoming chairmen to prioritize inclusive governance as enshrined in the State Government CDP. "The dividends of democracy must reach every citizen, regardless of political affiliation," he declared.

"I urged you to uphold the party's reputation through transparent leadership, zero tolerance for corruption and most importantly effective utilization of local government autonomy," the Governor said.

The Governor, however, expressed deep appreciation to the good people of Katsina State for their staunch belief in the All Progressives Congress (APC) by repaying the positive impact made in various communities with massive votes at the polls.

Governor Radda wishes the newly elected officials a successful stay in office.

That's why bandits still ravage them

P1PrinceKT:
Actually APC could won all the Seats (without rigging) considering the election is chairmanship and councils, many people are not even aware election was held. The election that is serious to people in that region is particularly President followed by the Governorship.

Golan007:
All politica is local.

givedemwotowoto:
Yes and at the same local level Sanwo Olu won while Bulaba lost, and 2027 they will show him pepper

Softmirror:
To lose means to not get your 25%. Most of your don't know how to play to win.

givedemwotowoto:
Don’t worry 2027 is coming. Keep fooling yourself. Politics is about wins and losses but somehow you think Bulaba is some type of king/kingmaker outside his region that can’t lose reelection

bewisemasses:
