The opposition politics leader were against the return of peace in the state, Gov Radda has alleged, stressing that they are intent on continuing a situation that would enable them proclaim the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration in the state as a failed government.
The Katsina State Governor, explained that the “return of peace” in banditry-ravaged local government areas of the state had annoyed the opposition because they did not want his government to succeed.
Although Gov Radda did not mention the names of the opposition figures, allegedly, opposing peace in the state. he might be referring to opposition leaders, who had been criticising his security initiatives.
Recall that an indigene of Danmusa and leader of African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the state, Dr. Mustapha Inuwa, had been criticising Gov Radda’s security measures initiated to curb banditry and other criminalities besetting the state. The allegation could refer to former Senator Ahmed Babba Kaita who dismissed the tour as a 2027 campaign.
But Radda, who described the opposition as celebrants of killings and abductions in the state, said his government would not be deterred by their blackmails.
He stated, “Some individuals are averse to witnessing the return of peace in Katsina, as they seek to proclaim the APC as a failed government. However, the APC-led government has come to stay.
“You will observe certain individuals, endowed with wisdom, education, and respect, yet blinded to governance, who seek to capitalise on violence to proclaim the government’s failure on radio stations.
“But if the government fails and you assume power, will you govern without the people if they are being killed? My primary concern is Katsina, not governance, and I shall continue to act in the best interest of the people of Katsina.”
Gov Radda called on the people of Danmusa Local Government Area to continue to be law-abiding and shun any act capable of truncating peace and development in the state.
