Katsina State Governor, Dikko Umaru Radda, has made his first public statement following the road accident on Sunday evening along the Daura–Katsina highway.

He assured the public that he is safe and currently undergoing medical observation at home as a precaution.

The governor’s convoy was involved in a head-on collision with a Volkswagen Golf vehicle, leaving the governor, his Chief of Staff, Alhaji Abdulkadir Mamman-Nasir, and another aide injured.

They were first rushed to the Federal Medical Centre in Daura and later transferred to the Federal Teaching Hospital in Katsina for further treatment.

A statement earlier issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Ibrahim Kaula Mohammed, thanked the people of Katsina and Nigerians at large for their outpouring of concern and prayers.

Speaking recently in a short live video, the governor said: “Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. Dear brothers and sisters of Katsina State and beyond, we are deeply grateful for all your prayers and concerns.
By the will of Allah, we were tested with a car accident, but Alhamdulillah, we came out safe and unharmed.”

He further confirmed that he is currently under observation as a precautionary measure.
“I’m pleased to confirm that I remain in good health and high spirits. Once again, thank you for your heartfelt prayers,” he added.

Governor Radda was actively involved in the burial rites of former president Muhammadu Buhari last week.
