- +PDP Raises Alarm Over Security, Education Decline In Katsina
The Katsina State chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed concern over what it described as the deteriorating state of security and education in the state.
The Katsina State chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed concern over what it described as the deteriorating state of security and education in the state.
The opposition party said the security situation in the state has worsened significantly in recent years, affecting livelihoods and threatening the safety of communities across the state.
Speaking at a thanksgiving ceremony organised by students in honour of Senator Yakubu Lado, the state PDP Chairman, Alhaji Nura Amadi Kurfi, said insecurity has undermined socio-economic activities of the state.
He argued that both security and education sectors of the state require urgent and deliberate intervention, stressing that they form the foundation of sustainable development in any society.
Kurfi contrasted the current situation with what he termed the “16 golden years” of PDP administration in the state, maintaining that significant progress recorded during that period has since been reversed.
He accused the present leadership of failing to sustain earlier gains, “resulting in years of developmental setbacks” across major sectors in the state.
The PDP chairman, however, expressed optimism that a turnaround is possible, adding that the party’s agenda includes targeted programmes aimed at directly improving security and revitalising the education sector.
He called on the people of Katsina to support the governorship aspiration of Lado, whom he described as a capable leader with a track record of service and commitment to the welfare of the people.
Responding, Lado assured the students and others supporters that their confidence in him would not be misplaced, pledging to dedicate himself fully to the struggle for better governance.
Vowing to work tirelessly toward the victory in the 2027 elections, Lado emphasised that his campaign would focus on addressing key challenges facing the state, including insecurity, education, infrastructure and human capital development.
