Governor Umaru Dikko Radda of Katsina State has dismissed the rumour circulating on his alleged Vice Presidential ambition in 2027.
His spokesperson, Ibrahim Kaula Mohammed, stated this on Wednesday in a statement which also quoted Radda as dismissing the allegation at a gathering organised by the Dutsin-Ma Development Forum, at Dutsin-Ma Local Government Area of the state.
“I’ve seen posters and messages suggesting I’m pursuing another office.
“Let me be clear, I sought your mandate to serve as Governor of Katsina State, and that is my only focus.
“I am not behind any campaign to contest elsewhere. My duty is to fulfill the trust you’ve placed on me,” the governor said.
During the event, Gov. Radda witnessed the distribution of 600 bags of maize and ₦5,000 cash each to some victims of insecurity, distributed by the forum.
He, therefore, praised the forum for the initiative.
“Today demonstrates our shared value-caring for one another and standing together through tough times,” he said.
He further reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to peace, saying, “Security remains our topmost priority.
“We’re working tirelessly to restore lasting peace to Katsina.
“We will never make promises we can’t keep, and our decisions will continue to be guided by sincerity and fear of God.”
Gov. Radda announced plans to extend the waterway project from Dutsin-Ma to Charanchi and other nearby areas.
