A former Senior Special Assistant on Digital Media to Governor Dikko Radda, Isah Miqdad, has confirmed that the Katsina State Governor is in good condition after being involved in a minor accident on Sunday evening along the Daura highway.

Governor Radda reportedly sustained some injuries in the accident, which occurred while he was returning from an official assignment in Daura.

Following the incident, he was taken to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Daura for prompt medical attention.

The Katsina State Government has also issued a statement affirming that the Governor is in stable condition, with no serious injuries sustained.

Taking to his (formerly Twitter) handle, Miqdad — who now serves as Chairman of the Katsina Local Government Area — shared:

“I saw oga a few minutes ago. He’s stable and currently receiving treatment. Kindly keep him in your prayers.”

Later, Miqdad confirmed that the Governor had been discharged from the hospital, writing:

“Alhamdulillah!!! His Excellency has been discharged from the hospital.”

Meanwhile, Bolaji Abdullahi, former Minister of Sports and interim spokesperson for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has declared that ending banditry in Katsina State would be a major focus of the opposition coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections.

His remarks came in reaction to a comment by Governor Radda, who had dismissed the new opposition alliance as a gathering of “recycled politicians” without innovative ideas or real development plans.

In a counter post on , Abdullahi slammed the ruling APC for failing to address growing insecurity in Katsina, particularly the surge in banditry.

“Governor Dikko Radda wants to know what the coalition will do differently. Good question,” Abdullahi said.
“To begin with, we will end banditry in his state — a task the APC has clearly abandoned.”

He emphasized that restoring security and peace in Katsina and other affected regions would be a top priority for the coalition.
