Katsina Governor Dikko Umaru Radda has welcomed card-carrying members of the opposition parties who stormed Government House in to join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The new entrants drawn from the PDP, Action Alliance, PRP, PDM and other political parties, cut across three local government areas Funtua, Bakori and Dandume. The list of defectors to APC also include former governorship candidates, members of the House of Representatives, past local government chairmen, former party leaders, ex-councillors and some members of their former party executives. Addressing the gathering, Governor Radda emphasised that political unity was essential for consolidating democratic gains and driving meaningful development. He also noted that Katsina had not experienced the level of political harmony recorded in the Funtua zone for many years. The Governor further directed APC leaders to fully integrate the new members into party activities and allow influential figures among the defectors to assume leadership roles. He further appealed to stakeholders to strengthen inclusiveness at all levels. Radda particularly commended Senator Muntari Dandutse, Commissioner for Health Dr. Musa Adamu Funtua and other notable personalities whose efforts and consultations influenced the wave of defections. He urged other APC stakeholders across the state to emulate their examples. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
