Former Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, has joined the race for Katsina North Senatorial district.

The former made the declaration at the APC State Secretariat, on Friday.

He arrived at the Secretariat amidst a large crowd of supporters.

Sirika presented himself as an experienced and capable contender ready to represent the district at the National Assembly.

Sirika, the senator who represented Katsina North between 2011 and 2015, pledged that if elected again, he would prioritize the development of the District and improve the welfare of its people.

He also affirmed his commitment to respecting the party’s rules and processes ahead of the primaries.

Sirika expressed optimism that the All Progressives Congress (APC) would secure victory at the state and national level, adding that as part of his campaign strategy, he announced the launch of a political movement, “Dikko Kalas,” which he said would focus on grassroots mobilization through house-to-house engagement across the state.

In his remarks, the state APC chairman, Bishir Gambo Saulawa, described Sirika as a strong pillar of the party who has consistently contributed to its growth and unity. (The PUNCH)
