Stakeholders and political movements founded by the late Mahmud Kanti Bello have initiated fresh efforts to revive and reposition his once formidable political structure in Katsina State.
The renewed push was unveiled during a strategic meeting held at his residence, convened by his son and current leader of the group, Mustapha Kanti Bello.
The gathering attracted coordinators and loyalists from across the state’s local government areas, alongside key members of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Addressing participants, Bello said the initiative was aimed at rebuilding the political network established by his late father, which he described as one of the most influential grassroots structures in the state at its peak.
He noted that despite the passage of time since the senator’s death, the core values of integrity, service, and loyalty that defined his leadership continue to resonate among followers.
“Our responsibility now is to bring the structure back to life and sustain the legacy he left behind,” he said, adding that leadership must be guided by inclusiveness and responsiveness to the people.
As part of the revival strategy, stakeholders resolved to institutionalise regular meetings, with at least two major gatherings annually, to strengthen coordination and unity among members.
They also agreed to support loyalists seeking elective positions, while mobilising across all local governments in support of Governor Dikko Umar Radda.

Plans were also announced to establish a digital communication platform to ensure continuous engagement and effective information sharing within the structure.
Speaking at the meeting, the National Legal Adviser of the APC, Murtala Aliyu Kankia, described the move as timely, noting that the structure had experienced setbacks following the death of its founder.
“This gathering is a call to regroup and continue from where the late Kanti Bello stopped. His leadership qualities were exceptional, and there is a need to sustain that legacy,” he said.

Kankia, however, emphasised the need for collaboration with other political blocs within the party to strengthen the APC’s prospects in future elections.
Also speaking, Chairman of the State Civil Service Commission, Idris Tune, said the large turnout at short notice reflected the enduring influence of the late senator.
According to him, supporters travelled from different parts of the country to attend the meeting, underscoring the strong bond and loyalty built over the years.
Stakeholders expressed optimism that with renewed commitment and collective effort, the structure would regain its strength and relevance in the political landscape of Katsina State.
