Katsina 2023: APC governorship candidate replaces running mate

The Katsina State All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Dikko Umar Radda, has replaced Alhaji Yusuf Aliyu Musawa, who was previously named as his running partner, with Faruk Lawal Kobe, the Katsina Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning.

Jobe, who is from Anara in the Funtua Senatorial District of the state, was one of those who Dikko defeated in the race for the Katsina APC governorship.

The new leader of Gwagware Media Organization, Abdulkadir Ahmed, revealed the change in a statement.

The announcement claims that the replacement was necessary as a result of Alhaji Yusuf Aliyu Musawa's voluntary withdrawal from the race following extensive consultations with key stakeholders.
