The Governor-elect of Dikko Umar-Radda says his counterparts should not waste time investigating the activities of their predecessors after assuming office on May 29.
In an interview with Channels Television, Umar-Radda said the newly-elected governors must consider expertise and diversity in setting up their cabinets, instead of party affiliation.
“If you want to succeed as a governor or any leadership you must have people who have the expertise, experience, and skills,” he said.
“You also have to consider the diversity and other options — women, youths, and politicians’ involvement. This will only consolidate the gains of the government.
“Governors-elect should not waste time investigating what the other government had done. I think it is better to kick-start the process, draw a line, move on and provide the leadership you are supposed to provide in your state.”
The governor-elect said fighting insecurity is his first priority in Katsina, adding that he is prepared to address the root cause.
