2027: Kaita urges Katsina voters to reject bad governance

Senator Ahmad Babba Kaita, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate in Katsina State, has called on residents to use the state’s 39th anniversary as an opportunity to critically evaluate the challenges they face and pass judgment on bad governance during the 2027 general elections. In a statement issued on Thursday to mark the anniversary, Kaita congratulated the people of Katsina but stressed that the occasion should serve as a catalyst for sober reflection amidst the security, poverty, and economic hardships plaguing the region.

Kaita urged citizens to cast their votes with a discerning eye, moving beyond mere celebrations to pray for divine intervention in rescuing the state from its "current terrible situation." He acknowledged that while some past leaders had contributed to the state's development, residents had, in recent years, been living under increasing pressure and fear of bandit attacks.

To address these pressing issues, Kaita urged voters to "have a rethink" ahead of the 2027 elections, vowing to elect focused leadership capable of tackling Katsina’s challenges head-on.

The ADC candidate further emphasized that his party represented a stark departure from the status quo, promising that an ADC administration would actively involve citizens in decision-making processes and champion policies aimed at propelling Katsina forward.
