This truly is not the best time to be the Governor of Katsina state. From every angle salvos are being thrown at him, rightly or wrongly, since the unfortunate massacre that took place in Mantau.
Political discourse in Katsina State and beyond has been dominated by one subject: Governor Dikko Umaru Radda’s decision to proceed on a three-week medical leave amid prevailing security challenges. The debate has taken on a life of its own, with critics especially from opposition quarters claiming that the governor’s absence at such a time is irresponsible and insensitive.
