2027: Hundreds of Katsina Youths Celebrate Babba Kaita Over Federal Job Opportunities, Declare Support for ADC Gubernatorial Bid
By Our Correspondent In Katsina
Hundreds of youths from Katsina State have gathered in Katsina to celebrate and appreciate the African Democratic Congress (ADC) gubernatorial candidate, Senator Ahmad Babba Kaita, for facilitating federal government employment opportunities for them during his tenure at the National Assembly.
The appreciation event, held on Saturday, November 7, 2026, was organised under the auspices of the Agarzayo Development Foundation, which described Senator Kaita's intervention in securing employment opportunities for beneficiaries as a remarkable demonstration of purposeful leadership.
Speaking at the event, the Founder and Chairman of the Foundation's Board of Trustees, Dr. Mubarak Isah Mani, said the gathering was organised to recognise and appreciate the former lawmaker for providing opportunities for the beneficiaries to serve the nation at the federal level.
He observed that while some political leaders had failed to create employment opportunities or facilitate meaningful development for their communities, Senator Babba Kaita distinguished himself through his contributions both as a member of the House of Representatives representing Kankia, Kusada and Ingawa Federal Constituency and later as Senator representing Katsina North.
Dr. Mani described Senator Kaita as a leader whose interventions had positively transformed the lives of individuals and communities, adding that the beneficiaries considered it a responsibility to support his ambition to become the next governor of Katsina State in 2027.
According to him, the Foundation had also published a book titled The True Definition of a Leader, documenting Senator Kaita's achievements and contributions through pictorial evidence.
He explained that the publication would be used to mark the inauguration of the Foundation and challenge elected and appointed public office holders, both past and present, to provide verifiable accounts of their achievements while in office.
In his response, Senator Ahmad Babba Kaita expressed appreciation to the beneficiaries for recognising his contributions, assuring them that his administration would deliver greater opportunities and accelerated development across Katsina State if elected governor in 2027.
The ADC gubernatorial candidate maintained that his vision for the state was anchored on improved opportunities, inclusive development and effective service delivery.
He also expressed confidence in the ADC's prospects ahead of the 2027 general elections, alleging that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) was making efforts to undermine the opposition party's growing political influence.
Senator Kaita, however, expressed optimism that Nigerians were ready for political change and would use the 2027 elections to usher in a new administration under the ADC.
The event provided an opportunity for beneficiaries of Senator Kaita's interventions to publicly acknowledge his contributions and reaffirm their support for his gubernatorial ambition.
