The Tinubu-Dikko 2027 APC Campaign Council has condemned reported cases of violence, intimidation and destruction of property during its campaign tour of Funtua Senatorial District in Katsina State.
The Director-General of the council, Architect Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, made this known on Thursday, November 12, 2026, during a press briefing at the campaign council’s office in Dandagoro, Kano Road, Katsina.
Dangiwa expressed sympathy to victims of the reported incidents in Malumfashi and Yankara, describing the attacks as unfortunate and contrary to the principles of peaceful democratic participation.
He said the campaign tour, which began on October 8, 2026, covered all 11 local government areas in Funtua Senatorial District and provided an opportunity for Governor Dikko Umaru Radda and campaign leaders to interact with traditional rulers, community leaders, party stakeholders, elected officials, women, youths and other residents.
According to him, the exercise was designed to present the achievements of the Radda administration under its development agenda and highlight the policies and programmes of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
He explained that activities during the tour included community visits, inspection and commissioning of projects, consultations with stakeholders, and discussions on security and development challenges affecting residents.
The campaign director said the Katsina State Government had directed security agencies to intensify investigations into the reported incidents and ensure that anyone found responsible was apprehended and prosecuted in accordance with the law.
He commended security agencies for their response but urged them to conduct thorough investigations into all reported cases. He also said the council had introduced measures to prevent similar incidents during subsequent campaign activities.
Dangiwa identified healthcare, education, agriculture, infrastructure, water supply, security, youth empowerment and women’s development as key areas discussed during the tour.
On healthcare, he highlighted the construction and rehabilitation of health facilities, provision of medical equipment and interventions aimed at improving access to primary and secondary healthcare services.
He also highlighted investments in education, including school infrastructure, teacher recruitment and training, student support programmes and other measures aimed at improving access to quality education.
In agriculture, Dangiwa said the administration had supported farmers through the provision of tractors, modern farming equipment, improved seeds and other agricultural inputs to increase productivity and strengthen food security.
He further highlighted road construction, water supply projects, community development initiatives and empowerment programmes targeting women, youths, entrepreneurs and vulnerable groups. He also noted that direct statutory allocations to local governments had strengthened their capacity to execute projects, pay salaries and address grassroots needs.
The Director-General called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to speed up the signing of a broader peace accord, noting that political parties in Katsina State had already signed a peace agreement. He also appealed to opposition parties to review their campaign schedules and remove billboards where necessary to prevent avoidable clashes.
He urged APC members and supporters to remain united, disciplined and law-abiding while respecting the rights of supporters of other political parties. He also called on residents to cooperate with security agencies by providing credible information and maintaining peaceful relations among farmers, pastoralists and other community groups.
Dangiwa commended traditional rulers, elected representatives, party executives, campaign coordinators, security agencies, media organisations and residents for their contributions to the 11-day campaign tour.
He also appreciated journalists, broadcasters and online publishers for their coverage, announcing that the council would proceed to Daura Senatorial District before moving to Katsina Senatorial District, with improved coordination, logistics and media engagement ahead of the 2027 general elections.
