Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, was involved in a road accident on Sunday evening while travelling along the Daura-Katsina Road, according to a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary, Ibrahim Kaula Mohammed. The incident occurred as the governor was carrying out his official duties in service to the people of Katsina State.
Governor Radda sustained a fracture in the accident and was promptly taken to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) in Daura for treatment. Medical professionals at the facility have confirmed that the governor is now in stable condition, with no serious injuries reported. He is currently undergoing routine medical evaluation as a precautionary measure.
The statement from the Government House reassured residents that Governor Radda remains in high spirits, expressing gratitude to Almighty Allah for his protection. The governor also extended his appreciation to the people of Katsina and well-wishers for their prayers and support during this time.
While details about the cause of the accident or the involvement of others in the governor’s convoy remain unclear, the swift response from the state government has helped to quell speculation and calm public concerns. Social media posts from concerned citizens and officials alike have reflected widespread relief at the news of the governor’s stable condition, with many wishing him a speedy recovery.
Governor Radda, a respected figure known for his commitment to tackling insecurity and fostering development in Katsina, has been a prominent leader since his election in 2023. His administration’s efforts in improving infrastructure, education, and security have earned him accolades, including the Governor of the Year award in 2023 and the National Honour of Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON).
The Daura-Katsina Road, a key route connecting the state capital to the hometown of former President Muhammadu Buhari, is frequently used by government officials. The incident has sparked discussions about road safety on this vital corridor, though no official comment has been made regarding the circumstances of the accident.
As the governor continues his recovery, the people of Katsina and beyond are hopeful for his swift return to full health, confident that his leadership will continue to guide the state forward.
