The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Muhammad Ali Pate, on Tuesday commissioned the newly upgraded General Hospital Charanchi and launched 238 Tricycle Ambulances and 18 Advanced Life Support Ambulances in Katsina State.
There are political endorsements, and there are endorsements that carry the weight of experience. When President Bola Ahmed Tinubu speaks about the quality of a governor, Nigerians have a particular reason to listen. Few contemporary Nigerian politicians have traversed the difficult terrain of democratic politics with the breadth, longevity and institutional influence that Tinubu has. From his years as a senator to his transformational tenure as Governor of Lagos State, through his role as one of the most consequential political strategists of the Fourth Republic and now as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Tinubu has spent decades studying, practising and shaping governance at different levels. His political career has been defined by institution-building, economic reform, political organisation, infrastructure development and an insistence that government must create an environment in which people and businesses can prosper.
Some birthdays are remembered for the wishes they attract; others reveal something deeper about the person being celebrated. Governor Dikko Umaru Radda’s 57th birthday was unmistakably the latter. Beyond the flood of congratulatory messages, telephone calls, and heartfelt tributes, there was a compelling statement about his political standing, leadership relationships and growing national goodwill.
The Coalition of Political Groups and Associations in Katsina State, comprising over 4,000 groups and associations across the 34 local government areas, has endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Dikko Umaru Radda for re-election in 2027, citing the development records of their administrations as the basis for its decision.
