Katsina Governor Radda Backs Tinubu's 2027 Re-election Bid

Katsina State Governor Dikko Radda stated that the state will support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027, attributing this to Tinubu’s longstanding political relationships with Katsina leaders and his support for the state’s interests. Radda made this declaration on a Monday while receiving a delegation led by Abdulaziz Yari, the former governor of Zamfara State and Director-General of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council.

Yari visited Katsina and Daura emirates to mobilize support for Tinubu's re-election. Radda expressed confidence that the engagements with traditional rulers and stakeholders would translate into electoral support, noting that the reception for Yari's delegation was encouraging.

He emphasized that traditional rulers had pledged their loyalty to Tinubu, whom they regard as a son of the soil. Radda highlighted Tinubu's historical support for former President Muhammadu Buhari and his close relationship with the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, reinforcing the notion that Katsina is politically significant for Tinubu.
