Katsina State Governor, Dikko Radda, has assured President Bola Tinubu of the state’s support for his re-election bid in the 2027 presidential election.
Radda gave the assurance on Saturday at the People’s Square, Katsina, during the flag-off and inauguration of the Katsina State structure of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, a campaign group mobilising grassroots support for Tinubu.
The governor said Katsina remained a stronghold of the All Progressives Congress, with the party maintaining a united structure across the state’s 34 Local Government Areas.
“Katsina State is an APC state. Every elected person in Katsina State is a member of the All Progressives Congress, and I want to assure you that Katsina State has a special attachment to President Bola Tinubu,” Radda said.
He urged residents to support the Tinubu administration, saying its economic reforms had increased resources available to state governments and created greater financial autonomy for local governments.
“President Bola Tinubu came with a lot of reforms which have enabled state governors to do a lot of good work for the people of our states. We should remain ever grateful to President Bola Tinubu.
“President Bola Tinubu, I want you to be rest assured that Katsina State is your state and will not let you down. We will support you, our people will support you, Insha Allah,” he said.
Speaking on behalf of the movement’s founder, High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, High Chief Kestin Ebimorbowei Pondi urged members to take the campaign to wards, communities, markets and households.
The Katsina APC Chairman, Dr Bishir Gambo Saulawa, described the party as a united family and called for collaboration between the movement and existing APC structures.
Campaign vehicles were presented to coordinators across the 34 LGAs.
