Katsina State Governor, Dikko Umaru Radda has urged All Progressives Congress, APC, leaders and members to accommodate politicians returning to the party and avoid disputes over positions and responsibilities.
Radda made the call on Friday while receiving former Secretary to the State Government, Mustapha Muhammad Inuwa, and members of his political structure from the 34 local government areas at the Government House in Katsina.
The governor said political differences should not prevent stakeholders from working together for peace and development in the state.
“This gathering should teach us that good leadership and politics do not have to be about fighting. People can disagree politically and still come together in peace and work for the progress of the state,” Radda said.
He urged APC local government chairmen, members of the State Executive Council and other party stakeholders to create an environment where returning members could contribute without unnecessary tension.
“We must give them the opportunity to contribute to the progress of our party and our state,” he said.
Inuwa said the political structure he led comprised about 220 groups across the state and had maintained its grassroots connections through different political platforms over the years.
He said many members of the structure had decided to align with the Radda administration and return to the APC.
Also speaking, former Katsina State Governor Aminu Bello Masari described Inuwa’s return as an opportunity for political stakeholders to rebuild relationships and work together in the interest of Katsina State.
APC state chairman, Bishir Gambo Saulawa, welcomed Inuwa and his supporters, saying their political experience and grassroots connections would contribute to the party’s structures across the state.
