Dr. Dikko Umar Radda, the victor of the Katsina State governorship election held on March 18, 2023, was sworn in as governor of the state on Monday at the Muhammadu Dikko Township Stadium in Katsina.
Dikko, 52, served as the chief of staff to Masari for a period, the former director general of SMEDAN, and the chairman of the Charanchi Local Government Council.
