The All Progressive Congress (APC) in Katsina state has affirmed Katsina State Governor, Dikko Umaru Radda, as consensus gubernatorial candidate ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The affirmation took place at the Katsina Government House, on Thursday, as party faithful gathered to endorse the party’s decision to field the governor for a second time.
In his address, the chairman of the APC reconciliation committee and former Katsina state governor, Aminu Masari, thanked those who saw reasons behind the consensus and cooperated with the committee to attain a fair level ground for the party to succeed.
According to him, the success of the consensus clearly shows that the party is indeed a winning party.
Masari urged members to massively vote for the APC in the 2027 elections for a better Katsina state in particular and a better Nigeria in general.
Similarly, Dr Yakubu Maccido, the chairman of the Electoral Committee for the Governorship Consensus Exercise, said 160 delegates unanimously affirmed Radda as the party’s candidate.
Maccido explained that in line with the provisions of the Electoral Act and the APC guidelines, a sole aspirant must be affirmed through a voice vote by delegates.
He subsequently declared Radda as the APC consensus governorship candidate for the 2027 election in Katsina State.
