The African Democratic Congress (ADC) gubernatorial candidate in Katsina State, Sen. Ahmad Babba Kaita, has congratulated the citizens of the state as it marks the 39th anniversary of its creation.
‘With nostalgia, I wish to congratulate us all as the people of Katsina State as we, by the special grace of Allah, witness and mark yet another year after creation.
In a statement to newsmen signed by Abubakar Ahmed, the ADC gubernatorial candidate, Senator Babba Kaita, lamented the insecurity situation in the state, especially in areas bordering the state’s forests.
‘This, indeed is ordinarily worth celebrating but for the fact that our people are faced with serious multiple challenges especially those of insecurity, poverty and economic backwardness caused by bad governance.
‘Instead of dining and dancing therefore, I strongly recommend we have a sober reflection and pray for divine intervention so that God can in his infinite wisdom and mercy, remove us from the current terrible situation’, the gubernatorial candidate said.
He observed that a child born 39 years ago must have become an adult by now and be standing firm on his feet, but that while some past leaders did their best to bring progress and development, the state and its people had lately been left under pressure and in constant fear of attacks by bandits while battling poverty and hunger.
Kaita advised citizens of the state to have a rethink ahead of the 2027 general elections by voting out all bad leaders with a view to bringing in focused leadership that would bring positive changes.
He maintained that the ADC was a complete departure from bad governance and wished to bring the desired positive changes, where citizens would be fully carried along in taking the state to greater heights.
