From Mu’awuya Bala Idris, Katsina
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Katsina State, Abdulaziz Maturaka, has described the African Democratic Congress as a party of “frustrated politicians” struggling for power to survive.
Maturaka made the remark while disbursing N10.5 million as Ramadan support to party members, youths, women, and traditional rulers in the state.
He said the ADC does not pose any threat to the ruling party, expressing confidence that Nigerians would re-elect President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and all APC governors in the 2027 general elections.
“We are not afraid of the emergence of ADC as opposition. The party is being run by frustrated politicians struggling to acquire power by all means,” he said.
Maturaka commended President Tinubu for what he described as efforts to transform the lives of Nigerians through the implementation of various economic policies.
“President Tinubu has done well within the last two and a half years. Nigerians should give him another chance to consolidate on the recorded achievements,” he added.
Earlier, Katsina State Governor, Umar Dikko Radda, commended Maturaka for his humanitarian assistance to the needy, orphans, and other vulnerable persons.
Radda said his administration appreciates Maturaka’s contributions, particularly in supporting party members and providing inputs for the smooth implementation of government policies and programmes.
The governor, who formally launched the disbursement of the financial assistance, urged beneficiaries to make good use of the funds. He also called on wealthy individuals and elected officials to support the less privileged, especially during the holy month of Ramadan.
In his remarks, the Chairman of Katsina Local Government, Ishah Migidad A.D. Saude, praised Governor Radda for appointing indigenes of the area into key government positions.
He cited the endorsement of Bishir Gambo Saulawa as state chairman of the APC and the appointment of Manir Ayuba as commissioner as examples of inclusive leadership.
