The Katsina State Deputy Governor, Hon. Faruk Lawal, has mocked the opposition parties in the state, saying they had nothing to campaign with in the forthcoming 2027 general election.

Speaking at an empowerment programme in Kaita, Lawal said the monumental achievements of the All Progressives Congress (APC) government in the state had horsewhipped opposition.

He said the Governor Dikko Umaru Radda-led government has awarded and completed various road, education, health, water supply and environmental projects in less than two years of the administration.

He highlighted the recruitment of 34,152 workers at the local government level, 7,325 teachers and empowerment grants given to women and youths as some of the achievements that silenced the opposition parties in the state.

He explained that no government in the country hadrecruited such a massive workforce and executed many projects in less than two years, adding the government was committed to tackling unemployment and driving development to the grassroots.

“There is no opposition in Katsina State because of the achievements and strides of Governor Dikko Umaru Radda-led government. Therefore, the opposition parties in the state have nothing to campaign with.

“What are they going to tell people during the campaign? The achievements of the APC government in Katsina State have silenced the opposition. The recently conducted local government council election is also a testament to the acceptance of APC in the state,” Lawal said.

Earlier, Chairman of the Katsina Basic Education Board, Dr. Kabir Magaji Gafiya, said 600 orphans, widows and other vulnerable people had been empowered with educational materials and cash worth N15 million.

Gafiya, who empowered the beneficiaries through his pet project, Kabir Magaji Gafiya Foundation, said the initiative sought to ameliorate the sufferings of vulnerable people in the local government.
