In a significant show of support, lawmakers from Katsina State at the National Assembly have thrown their weight behind Governor Umar Radda, endorsing him for a second term in office. This endorsement, announced under the umbrella of the All Progressives Congress (APC), comes as the country gears up for the 2027 general elections. The announcement was made by Hon. Sada Soli, who represents the Jibia and Kaita Federal Constituency, at a news conference in Abuja, where he spoke on behalf of his colleagues in the House of Representatives.
According to Hon. Soli, the decision to back Radda was a unanimous one, stemming from a thorough assessment of the governor’s performance and the overwhelming support he enjoys from constituents across Katsina State. Soli praised Radda’s leadership style, describing it as purposeful and inclusive, qualities that have been instrumental in the state’s progress. Key areas of achievement highlighted by Soli include significant strides in tackling insecurity, implementing much-needed education reforms, boosting agricultural production, promoting enterprise, and fostering a sense of community through peaceful coexistence initiatives.
These efforts, as outlined by Soli, have positioned Katsina State on a trajectory of sustainable development and prosperity, a feat that has garnered widespread acclaim. In their endorsement, the lawmakers not only pledged their loyalty and support to Radda’s re-election bid but also urged all citizens of Katsina State who have the state’s best interests at heart to rally behind the governor. This call for unity is seen as a crucial step towards ensuring continuity and progress in the state, leveraging the momentum built during Radda’s first term to drive further growth and development.
The endorsement is a significant boost to Radda’s campaign, coming from federal lawmakers who have a deep understanding of the state’s needs and the governor’s performance. As Nigeria moves towards the 2027 elections, such endorsements will play a crucial role in shaping the political landscape, especially at the state level. For the people of Katsina State, the message is clear: the path towards a more secure, educated, and prosperous future is one that they believe Radda can continue to lead them on, given the chance to serve a second term. With this endorsement, the stage is set for an exciting political season, one that will be closely watched both within Nigeria and internationally.
