“We dare say that amongst the array of governorship aspirants in Katsina state, none can boast of the pedigree and track record of Hon. Ibrahim Zakari
“He is at home with the people of Katsina and contributed immensely to the growth and development of Katsina state in past eight years.
“The Katsina Youth Coalition For Equity and Good Governance sees in Hon. Zakari, a candidate that can match any candidate of any political party with a blink. He is at home with all from the three senatorial districts of the state.
“Youths, women, and children have felt his insightful leadership strides, a constituency he holds dearly to his heart, as evident in the wide support from women, civil society, and youth-based organisations across the state.
“His progressive leadership style is second to none. It further emphasizes that Katsina State needs such leaders to pilot her affairs at this critical point.
“Also, for the sake of equity, justice, fair play, and unity it is also right for the next executive governor of Katsina state to come from the Katsina North Senatorial Zone which has never had the opportunity to produce the executive governor of Katsina state since 1999.
“We use this medium to call on him to run for the position of the executive governor of Katsina state with all seriousness and we endorse him in full to run under any political platform and we will support and mobilize voters to vote for him in full regard.”

Meanwhile, a recent report has revealed how major organs of governments across the country now operate at the lowest ebb as politicians engage in an intense fight for tickets of their parties for the 2023 general election in the country.
