On the occasion, which marked the ninth day of the 2027 Tinubu/Dikko election campaign rally, Governor Dikko paid a courtesy visit to the Galadiman Katsina and District Head of Malumfashi, Justice Sadik Abdullahi Mahuta (rtd.), as part of the campaign team’s tradition of paying homage to traditional and religious leaders in every local government area visited.
In his welcome address, the Chairman of Malumfashi Local Government Area, Hon. Muntari Abdullahi City, commended Governor Radda for his commitment to improving the lives of the people and praised the state government’s development projects implemented in the area.
In his remarks, Governor Radda explained that paying visits to traditional and religious leaders was a longstanding tradition observed by his campaign entourage wherever it went, with the aim of strengthening relationships and promoting unity.
The Governor stated that his administration had fulfilled the promises it made during the 2023 elections, particularly in the construction and renovation of primary healthcare centres, schools and roads. He specifically highlighted the construction and rehabilitation of more than 20 urban roads, covering approximately 11 kilometres, in Malumfashi.
He also emphasised the progress made in the area of security, outlined the reforms introduced in the agricultural sector, and highlighted efforts to strengthen traditional and religious institutions through the approval of monthly allowances for village heads (Dagatai), ward heads and religious leaders.
Governor Radda further highlighted the contributions of the Community Development Programme (CDP) towards empowering local communities, particularly in agriculture and dry-season farming, through the annual provision of agricultural machinery, irrigation pumps, farming equipment and fertilisers.
He urged the people to continue supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 elections, stressing that sustaining development requires unity and continuity in implementing good policies.
In his response, the Galadiman Katsina and District Head of Malumfashi, Justice Sadik Abdullahi Mahuta, commended Governor Radda for the infrastructural development projects, reforms and programmes being implemented by his administration, particularly in the areas of security, education, healthcare, scholarships and the Community Development Programme.
