Katsina State Governor Dikko Umaru Radda has instructed political appointees to return to their respective local government areas so they can participate in the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary elections in preparation for the 2027 general election.

The directive was issued yesterday during the State Executive Council Meeting held in the newly inaugurated digital Council Chamber of the Katsina State Government House.

The new chamber incorporates paperless operations, remote conferencing capabilities, synchronized smart audio systems, and a fully integrated digital platform designed to improve efficiency in government business.

Under the digital system, each chief executive will receive a modern computer workstation, official government email accounts, and e‑governance applications to enhance communication, coordination, and decision‑making across ministries and agencies.

Radda ordered all appointees to immediately return to their local government areas to oversee and take part in the screening and primary election exercises as required by party leadership.

He emphasized the importance of conducting the exercises peacefully and orderly during this month’s schedule.

Radda added that the success of the primary elections would largely depend on the commitment of APC members and stakeholders at the grassroots level.

He urged all political appointees and party members to actively participate while maintaining peace and unity within the party ranks.

“This month of May is a period we will all be engaged in party activities, from screening exercises to primary elections for our flagbearers for the 2027 elections. We expect all of you to participate actively and ensure peace is maintained throughout the process,” Radda said.

“So we hope that you participate in the exercise to ensure that peace is maintained and all of you should retire to your various local governments for the exercise as mandated,” he added.
