On Friday, Katsina State Governor Dikko Umaru Radda addressed a gathering of former Secretary to the State Government (SSG) Mustapha Muhammad Inuwa and members of his political structure at the Government House in Katsina. He urged leaders and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to welcome the returning politicians and to avoid disputes over positions and responsibilities.
“Political differences should not prevent stakeholders from working together for peace and development in the state,” Radda said. “Good leadership and politics do not have to be about fighting. People can disagree politically and still come together in peace and work for the progress of the state.” He called on APC local‑government chairmen, the State Executive Council and other party stakeholders to create an environment where returning members could contribute without unnecessary tension.
“We must give them the opportunity to contribute to the progress of our party and our state,” Radda added.
Inuwa explained that the political structure he led comprised about 220 groups across the state and had maintained grassroots connections through different political platforms over the years. He said many members of the structure had decided to align with the Radda administration and return to the APC.
“Many members of the structure have decided to align with the Radda administration and return to the APC,” Inuwa said.
Former Katsina State Governor Aminu Bello Masari described Inuwa’s return as an opportunity for political stakeholders to rebuild relationships and work together in the interest of Katsina State. APC state chairman Bishir Gambo Saulawa welcomed Inuwa and his supporters, noting that their political experience and grassroots connections would strengthen the party’s structures across the state.
