Katsina State is a law-abiding state and will operate under the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I have asked the state Attorney General to give me a full report on the legal implications of the Supreme Court\u2019s decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs you know, I was once the chairman of Charanchi Local Government during the administration of our beloved President Umaru Musa Yar\u2019adua. I was involved in the day-to-day administration of my local government, and I am fully aware of the challenges and pains most of you are facing.<\/p>\n<p>He acknowledged the potential challenges ahead but expressed optimism about the state\u2019s preparedness: \u201cWe are facing various socio-economic challenges coupled with insecurity in our frontline local governments. When I took office in 2023, over 20 local governments were ravaged by insecurity. Our concerted efforts have reduced insecurity to the fringes of the frontline local governments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While highlighting his administration\u2019s forward-thinking approach to local government administration, Radda noted that the state plans to conduct elections for new local government chairmen at the expiration of the tenure of incumbent chairmen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have already carried out party primaries in line with electoral best practices, and some current chairmen will return through a democratic process. In this dispensation, we are most likely the only state to transition from one democratically elected local government council to another,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Nigeria Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
