Former Katsina State Secretary to the Government, Mustapha Muhammad Inuwa, has returned to the All Progressives Congress, APC, alongside members of his political structure drawn from the 34 local government areas of the state.
Inuwa and his supporters were received by Katsina State Governor, Dikko Umaru Radda, at the Government House in Katsina on Friday.
The development comes as the governor urged APC leaders and members to accommodate returning politicians and avoid disagreements over positions and responsibilities.
Radda said political differences should not prevent stakeholders from working together for peace and development in Katsina State.
According to him, the return of Inuwa and his supporters should provide an opportunity for reconciliation and collective efforts toward strengthening the state.
“This gathering should teach us that good leadership and politics do not have to be about fighting. People can disagree politically and still come together in peace and work for the progress of the state,” Radda said.
The governor also appealed to APC local government chairmen, members of the State Executive Council and other party stakeholders to create room for the returning members to participate in the party without unnecessary tension.
He said, “We must give them the opportunity to contribute to the progress of our party and our state.”
Speaking on the size of his political structure, Inuwa said it comprised about 220 groups across Katsina State and had maintained grassroots connections while operating under different political platforms.
He explained that many members of the structure had now decided to align with the Radda administration and return to the APC.
Former governor of the state, Aminu Bello Masari, described Inuwa’s return as an opportunity for political stakeholders to rebuild relationships and work together for the interest of Katsina State.
The APC state chairman, Bishir Gambo Saulawa, also welcomed Inuwa and his supporters, saying their experience and grassroots networks would strengthen the party’s structures across the state.
