Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, has said the late President Muhammadu Buhari’s legacy remains a foundation for continued progress, highlighting his contributions to infrastructure, education and development across the country and Daura Zone.


Speaking at the Tinubu–Dikko–Jobe campaign rally in Sandamu, Governor Radda appreciated the people for their loyalty and impressive turnout, assuring them of his administration’s commitment to sustaining development across the area.


He said the massive reception demonstrated the people's confidence in his administration, the APC and the political legacy of the late President Muhammadu Buhari.


"Today, we appreciate the trust, loyalty and support you have continued to demonstrate towards our government and the APC. Your presence here in Sandamu clearly shows your confidence in our leadership, and we are deeply grateful for this solidarity," he said.


Governor Radda described the presence of Hon. Yusuf Buhari, APC candidate for Daura, Sandamu and Mai’Adua Federal Constituency, at the rally as particularly significant, noting that the political foundation laid by the late President had provided opportunities for many people to participate in governance and public service.


He said the late President's contributions to the establishment of the APC and its growth over the years deserved recognition, stressing that his legacy should be preserved through continued commitment to the party and its ideals.


"Many of us have had the opportunity to serve because of the political foundation and platform provided under the leadership of our late father, General Muhammadu Buhari, since the creation of the APC. We must continue to appreciate his contributions and honour the legacy he left behind," the Governor said.


On infrastructure, Governor Radda highlighted major road and bridge projects across the area, explaining that the interventions would improve connectivity, ease transportation and stimulate economic activities within and beyond the benefiting communities.


He urged residents to cooperate with relevant authorities, support contractors and protect public infrastructure to ensure the successful execution and sustainability of the projects.


The Governor assured the people that his administration would continue to collaborate with the local government leadership and other stakeholders to attract more development to Sandamu.


"Insha Allah, we will continue to work together to bring more development to this area. With your support and cooperation, the local government leadership will continue to implement projects that directly improve the lives of our people," he assured.


He also emphasised the importance of effective collaboration between elected representatives and their constituents, expressing confidence that members of the National and State Assemblies would continue to advance the interests of their respective constituencies.


Governor Radda commended traditional rulers, religious leaders, community leaders, women and youth groups for their contributions to peace, political mobilisation and community development.


He urged APC supporters to strengthen grassroots mobilisation and translate the enthusiasm demonstrated at the rally into electoral support during the 2027 general elections.


"Come election day, I urge you to turn out in large numbers and vote for all our candidates under the APC platform. Let us remain united, work together and ensure victory at all levels," he said.
