Gov Radda Mourns APC Chieftain, Machika, Donates N5m

Governor Dikko Radda of Katsina State has commiserated with Faskari/Kankara/Sabuwa Federal Constituency over the death of Dalha Ya’u Machika, a chieftain of the ruling APC.

Machika lost his life to a ghastly auto-crash along the Kaduna/Zaria Express way while traveling to Kaduna for the APC’s northwest zonal congress.

The accident involved five people, including the former deputy governor of Katsina State, Sirajo Damari , who sustained injuries and was undergoing treatment as at press time.

Governor Radda, who was represented by the member representing Faskari/Kankara/Sabuwa Federal Constituency, Hon Shehu Dalhatu Tafoki, described the deceased as a valuable asset to the party and the state as whole.

He said Machika contributed immeasurably to the development of his community and the Sabuwa local government in general.

Hon Tafoki donated N5million on behalf of the governor even as he made a personal donation of N500,000 in addition to 10 bags of rice, 10 cartons of vegetable oil and spaghetti to the family of the Deceased.

Village Head of Machika, Alh Abubakar Kabir Muhammad, expressed gratitude to Governor Umar Dikko Radda for the gesture.
