I heartily celebrate the 56th birthday of our beloved leader and Governor, His Excellency Malam Dikko Umaru Radda. I join millions of citizens of Katsina State in expressing profound gratitude to Almighty Allah for blessing us with an uncommon hero whose leadership continues to transform our dear state.
Governor Radda is a shining example of what democratic governance should truly embody. His respect for democratic principles and constitutional values has redefined the art of governance in Katsina State, making him a democrat par excellence.
What sets His Excellency apart is his genuine love for the people of Katsina State. Every policy decision, project conception, and resource allocation reflects his deep commitment to placing the welfare and aspirations of our citizens at the very heart of governance.
His Excellency has also championed community development initiatives that directly touch the lives of ordinary citizens, ensuring that no community is left behind. His approach reflects the best practices of inclusiveness globally, where every group, regardless of background or status, has a voice in the development process and benefits from government programs.
Governor Radda’s leadership philosophy reflects remarkable wisdom in power sharing and delegation. He understands that true leadership is not about controlling everything, but about empowering others to excel in their responsibilities. His trust in his team, including myself as his deputy, exemplifies the democratic spirit that allows governance to thrive at all levels.
Governor Radda has made accountability, transparency, and prudent resource management the cornerstone of his administration. Every kobo spent is accounted for, every project is transparently executed, and every decision is made with the consciousness that we are trustees of the people’s mandate and resources.
At 56, Governor Radda represents the finest qualities of leadership Nigeria needs: integrity, vision, and service without self-interest. He is indeed an uncommon hero who has proven that principled leadership is not only possible but also profitable for the people.
On this auspicious occasion, I pray that Almighty Allah continues to bless our Governor with good health, divine wisdom, and the strength to lead Katsina State to even greater heights. May the years ahead bring him more achievements, deeper fulfillment, and continued service to humanity.
His Excellency,
Malam Faruk Lawal Jobe,
Deputy Governor,
Katsina State
