Katsina State Governor Dikko Radda has shut down the rumours circulating about his alleged Vice Presidential ambition in 2027.
He recently dismissed the accusation at a gathering organised by the Dutsin-Ma Development Forum at Dutsin-Ma Local Government Area of the state.
Speaking via a press statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Ibrahim Kaula-Mohammed, Dikko revealed that being the Governor of Katsina State is his main focus at the moment, and reports saying he is chasing another office should be ignored.
According to him, he has nothing to do with any campaign for the office of Vice President, and his only duty is to repay the faith the people of Katsina State have put in him and his governance.
“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,” he said.
Gov. Dikko was present to witness the distribution of 600 bags of maize and ₦5,000 cash each to some victims of insecurity, by the Dutsin-Ma Development Forum.
Appreciating the forum for organising such a thoughtful initiative, he reiterated his government’s commitment to guaranteeing peace in the state.
He concluded by saying that security remains his administration’s main priority, and he’ll keep working tirelessly to make Katsina peaceful again.
“Security remains our topmost priority.
Today demonstrates our shared value-caring for one another and standing together through tough times.
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,” he added.
