Katsina APC political leadership dynamics

Overview

Internal political tensions within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Katsina State initially centered on a power struggle between Governor Dikko Umaru Radda and Ibrahim Masari, the Special Adviser to the President on Political Affairs. This rift led to the questioning of the Governor’s security personnel at the Force Headquarters in Abuja, reportedly following the alleged destruction of billboards featuring Masari and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Following these disputes, political stakeholders and the Katsina State House of Assembly moved to consolidate support for the Governor. The Forum of Chairmen and Caucus Secretaries of the APC passed a vote of confidence in Radda, citing improvements in infrastructure and healthcare. Additionally, the State House of Assembly endorsed his re-election for 2027 during the presentation of an N828.64 billion appropriation bill.
