· Dikko Umaru RaddaThe Katsina governor reaffirmed the state's support for Tinubu and the APC ahead of the 2027 election.

He called on movement members to work with existing APC structures and take the administration's message directly to wards, communities, markets and households. Radda praised what he described as the positive effects of Tinubu's reforms, particularly the increased financial capacity of state and local governments. He said the additional resources could support investment in roads, education, healthcare, water, sanitation and markets.

Radda also welcomed Katsina's selection as the first state in the nationwide launch of the movement, crediting Tompolo, its founder and convener. He linked the choice to the historical relationship between Katsina and the Niger Delta, including the late President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua's role in promoting peace and development in the region through the Presidential Amnesty Programme. “Katsina State will continue to stand with you. We will support you, and our people will support you, Insha Allah,” he said.
