Rarara’s Performance Lights Up Katsina During President Tinubu’s Visit

Dauda Kahutu Rarara, the celebrated Hausa musician, took center stage in Katsina on Friday, leaving the crowd in awe with a live performance of his latest hit, Omo Ologo (Child of Glory), dedicated to none other than President Bola Tinubu.

The performance was part of a special event during President Tinubu’s two-day working visit to the state, aimed at addressing the growing security concerns in the region, particularly the rising incidents of bandit attacks and kidnappings that have plagued Katsina, the home state of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

Rarara’s electrifying performance had the audience roaring in excitement as he serenaded the gathering with his patriotic tune. In the now-viral video of the performance, President Tinubu and Governor Dikko Umaru Radda were seen clapping and smiling in approval, creating a moment of unity and joy amidst the serious undertones of the visit.

The visit was crucial for addressing urgent security issues, and part of President Tinubu's itinerary included commissioning the Katsina Agricultural Mechanised Centre—a major development initiative. The visit also featured the attendance of Governor Radda’s daughter’s wedding, adding a personal touch to the trip before Tinubu heads back to Abuja.
