Former Governor of Katsina State, Hon. Aminu Bello Masari has said political leaders must do everything possible to promote the welfare and development of the people saying anyone who refused to acknowledge the achievements of President Tinubu and Governor Radda was being hypocritical.

He highlighted major Federal Government infrastructure projects, including the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and other strategic roads, saying improved infrastructure would create economic opportunities and support agriculture.

The former governor also commended improvements along the Kaduna-Abuja Road, describing them as evidence of the impact of effective leadership.

Masari made the observation on Sunday at the Tinubu/Dikko Assured (TDA) 2027 Islamiyya Teachers’ Empowerment, School Commissioning and Virtual Commissioning of 45 Solar Streetlights held at the Continental Events and Sports Complex, Katsina.

The Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda,  the reforms introduced by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu are helping states deliver massive projects and meet salary and pension obligations without borrowing.
.He said leadership must be judged by performance and measurable results, not by political rhetoric or negative narratives.
“Once leaders make promises to the people, they have a responsibility to fulfil those promises. Leadership is built on trust, not deception,” said the governor.
Governor Radda noted that unlike in the past when the state relied on loans to pay salaries, his administration has executed projects worth over ₦30 billion without borrowing, while also paying salaries and pensions promptly.
“Today, there is no sector where we are taking a loan to execute a single project in Katsina State. We are paying pensions and meeting our obligations to the people of Katsina,” he said.
He commended the TDA initiative for targeting grassroots beneficiaries, especially Islamiyya teachers. The Governor announced a personal donation of ₦10,000 to each of the 690 beneficiaries, totaling ₦6.9 million, rounded up to ₦7 million.
The Governor urged citizens, organizations and philanthropists to support community development, stressing that government alone cannot deliver all needed interventions.
He also called on citizens not to allow misinformation to overshadow genuine development efforts, and challenged political aspirants to present clear blueprints to address public problems.

Also speaking, the Director-General of Tinubu/Dikko Assured, Hon. Umar Ahmed Zayyad, said the organisation had expanded its programmes to support teachers and beneficiaries of Islamiyya schools.

Zayyad said the initiative was inspired by President Tinubu’s leadership and recalled that the President had expressed satisfaction with the achievements of the Radda administration during his visit to Katsina.

He said the Katsina State Government had implemented projects worth more than ₦30 billion without taking loans, and urged citizens to continue supporting government development efforts.

The Deputy Chairman of the APC in Katsina State, Bala Abu Musawa, commended Governor Radda for his empowerment programmes and development initiatives.

He said Katsina remained politically stable due to cooperation among political leaders and expressed confidence that the APC would win the forthcoming elections across the state.
