Katsina State Governor, Dr Dikko Radda, whose vehicle was involved in a head-on collusion with a Golf car on Sunday, has thanked Allah for surviving what could have been worse than it turned out to be.
Discharged from the hospital where he and two others were rushed to after the incident, Governor Dikko said he was now home and under observation to make sure everything is okay with him.
The Governor’s vehicle was involved in a head-on collision with a Golf car, Sunday evening on the Daura-Katsina road.
At the time of the accident, the Governor, who was together with his Chief of Staff, Alhaji Abdulkadir Mamman-Nasir, and one other, was rushed, along with his company, to the Federal Medical Center, Daura, and later taken to the Federal Teaching Hospital, Katsina where they were finally treated.
Mr Ibrahim Kaula-Mohammed, the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, in a statement on Monday said that Radda expresses his gratitude to the people of the State for their concerns and fervent prayers.
He said that the Governor, in a short live video, said he was at his residence after undergoing preliminary observations.
The statement reads:
“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.”
The Governor who said he was in good health assured that being under observation “ is just to make sure that everything is fine, and by His Grace, I am doing well.
“I’m pleased to confirm that I remain in good health and high spirits.
“Once again, thank you for your heartfelt prayers.”
In an earlier statement on Sunday, Kaula-Mohammed had informed:
“We are pleased to confirm that the governor is in good health and stable condition, with no serious injuries sustained.
“Radda remains in high spirits and expresses his gratitude to Almighty Allah for His protection, as well as Katsina citizens and well-wishers for their prayers and concerns.”
Recall that Governor Radda wept openly during the funeral of late President, Muhammadu Buhari, who was not only from his State, but with whom he had a very close family relationship with.
