Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, has called for sanctions against members of the All Progressive Congress (APC) found guilty of anti-party activities during the rerun election conducted for Faskari-Sabuwa-Kankara federal constituency.
Governor Radda issued the directive when the committee charged with investigating the alleged anti-party activities submitted their findings to him
through the state party chairman, Alhaji Sani Aliyu Daura.
In his address, Governor Radda emphasized the importance of fostering unity within the party, calling for the establishment of a “powerful committee” to lead intensive reconciliation efforts in the local governments experiencing internal factions.
The Investigative Committee Chairman, a former Deputy Governor, Alhaji Tukur Ahmed Jikamshi, presented the five-point recommendation report. He stated that the committee adhered strictly to the party’s constitution, the national constitution, and the designated terms of reference while discharging the assigned responsibility.
According to Jimkashi, the report exposed sabotage within the party during the rerun election, especially within Kankara and Faskari, which partly hurt the APC in the elections. He also blamed “selfish party leaders” for internal divisions in the area.
Highlighting the importance of unity, Jikamshi called for the adoption of the committee’s proposals, which included setting up a dedicated reconciliation committee, to strengthen the APC in Katsina more.
