Governor Dikko Radda has emerged as the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Katsina State ahead of the 2027 general election.
The affirmation exercise took place on Thursday at the People’s Square in Katsina.
Yakubu Maccido, chairman of the APC Electoral Committee from the party’s national headquarters, who supervised the exercise, said Radda secured the party’s endorsement through a voice vote by delegates and supporters.
According to him, the affirmation followed a unanimous agreement among party stakeholders in the state.
Maccido said the outcome reflected the determination of party members to preserve unity and strengthen the APC ahead of the 2027 elections.
He also noted that the exercise was peaceful and conducted in line with the party’s guidelines.
“While some states experienced tension during the process, Katsina distinguished itself through unity, discipline and effective leadership under Governor Radda,” he said.
The affirmation further solidifies Radda’s standing within the party as preparations intensify for the 2027 governorship election in the state.
