Governor Radda, in an official condolence message, described the late Aminu Dan-Hamidu as a loyal party man, seasoned civil servant, and grassroots politician who served the people with unwavering dedication. “Today, Katsina has lost one of its most committed and selfless sons,” the Governor stated.

“Hon. Dan-Hamidu was a quiet achiever who believed in integrity, transparency, and people-first leadership. His death is a painful loss — not just to Bakori, but to our entire state.”

Dedicated Public Servant with Grassroots Impact

The late Chairman was renowned for his commitment to community development, administrative competence, and inclusive leadership. He was a man of humility who believed in delivering results rather than seeking personal recognition.

Governor Radda emphasized that Hon. Dan-Hamidu’s work was guided by sincerity. “He let his work speak for him. Even in a relatively short period, he showed what leadership could mean when rooted in honesty,” the Governor said.

A True Son of the Soil

Describing the Chairman as a beloved community leader, Governor Radda added: “From his early days in civil service to his current leadership of Bakori Local Government, Dan-Hamidu was a beacon of public service who consistently placed the needs of the people above personal gain.”

Under his tenure, Bakori saw notable improvements in infrastructure, community empowerment, and youth-focused programs. His leadership style was inclusive and compassionate, making him widely respected beyond political affiliations.

Condolences and Prayers

On behalf of the government and people of Katsina State, Governor Radda extended heartfelt condolences to the late Chairman’s family, the residents of Bakori, and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.

“We mourn with his family and community. May Almighty Allah forgive his shortcomings and grant him Aljannatul Firdausi,” he prayed.

The Governor further remarked, “We will continue to remember him for his modesty, dedication, and the deep love he had for his people.”

Reflections on Grassroots Leadership in Nigeria

The passing of Hon. Aminu Dan-Hamidu highlights the critical role of local government leaders in Nigeria’s governance framework. Local government chairmen serve as the essential link between the government and the people, especially in rural areas.

Dan-Hamidu’s leadership serves as a model for public servants across Nigeria. His legacy is a reminder that effective governance is rooted in integrity, accessibility, and genuine concern for the people’s welfare.

As Nigeria navigates complex developmental challenges, the values exemplified by Dan-Hamidu will remain vital to building a just and inclusive society.
