TAIBAT UMMI YAKUBU

Governor Dikko Umaru Radda of Katsina State has urged voters in Daura, Sandamu and Mai’Adua Federal Constituency to support Yusuf Buhari, son of former President Muhammadu Buhari, in his bid to secure a seat in the House of Representatives in 2027.

Radda made the appeal on Saturday at the Tinubu-Dikko 2027 campaign rally held at Baure I Primary School in Baure Local Government Area, where he presented Yusuf as a candidate with strong ties to the community.

Describing him as their son, district head and father, the governor asked residents to consider his background and support his ambition alongside other candidates seeking election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He also called for support for the APC senatorial candidate in Daura Zone and other party candidates, expressing confidence in their ability to represent the people.

The governor used the rally to project confidence in the APC's chances in the 2027 elections, predicting that the party would win across different levels of the ballot. He attributed his optimism to what he described as public recognition of government projects and programmes across the country.

Radda further highlighted his administration's development record in the zone, disclosing that 1,019 projects had been executed across Daura Senatorial Zone, with approximately 131 located in Baure alone.

He said the interventions covered education, healthcare, economic empowerment, community development and social welfare, adding that his government intended to continue taking development projects closer to rural communities.

As part of his engagements in Baure, the governor also visited the Sarkin Ban Daura and District Head of Yanduna, Alhaji Muhammad Shazali Muhammad, to discuss community concerns.

During the visit, Shazali acknowledged the administration's interventions in education, healthcare and community development but appealed for more attention to some outstanding needs. These included completing an abandoned secondary school project, providing solar-powered boreholes and strengthening security around schools and vulnerable communities.

The Director-General of the Tinubu-Dikko/Jobe 2027 Campaign Council and former Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, thanked residents for welcoming the campaign team.

He assured them that the APC would continue to deliver development projects and sustain the legacies of the late former president.
