The Tinubu/Dikko Campaign Council says it restrained its supporters from retaliating against alleged attempts to disrupt its campaign tour of Funtua Senatorial Zone.

The Director-General of the council, Alhaji Ahmad Dangiwa, disclosed this on Thursday at a news conference in Katsina while reviewing the outcome of the campaign tour.

The press conference was organised ahead of the commencement of activities in the Daura Zone on Saturday.

Dangiwa alleged that some individuals attempted to destabilise the campaign activities, triggering anger among some supporters who wanted to retaliate.

He, however, said the council’s leadership intervened and prevailed on the supporters to maintain peace and avoid confrontation.

“When we noticed that some bad elements were allegedly hired to destabilise our peaceful and hitch-free campaign tour, some of our supporters wanted to retaliate, but we restrained them,” he said.

He urged party supporters to remain peaceful, law-abiding and tolerant, stressing that political activities should not create unnecessary tension or threaten public safety.

In spite of the reported incidents, Dangiwa described the campaign tour across the 11 local government areas of Funtua Senatorial Zone as successful.

He commended traditional rulers, political leaders and party supporters for their warm reception and cooperation throughout the exercise.

According to him, the tour provided an opportunity to engage stakeholders and highlight the achievements of President Bola Tinubu and Gov. Dikko Radda.

Dangiwa attributed the achievements of the Radda administration to the timely release of statutory allocations to states by the Tinubu-led Federal Government.

“The governor has been able to fulfil most of his promises to the people because the Federal Government, led by President Tinubu, releases state governors’ allocations when they are due,” he said.

He explained that improved financial resources had enabled the state government to execute projects and implement interventions across critical sectors.

He added that Radda had ensured that local government councils received their statutory allocations to accelerate development at the grassroots.

Dangiwa identified healthcare, education and agriculture as major sectors benefiting from the administration’s investments and interventions.

Earlier, the Director-General, Media and Publicity of the campaign council, Ahmed Abdulkadir, thanked stakeholders and supporters across Funtua Senatorial Zone for their cooperation and hospitality.

He appealed to stakeholders in Daura Senatorial Zone to extend similar support and warm reception to the campaign team during its forthcoming tour.
