A fresh political crisis is reportedly brewing within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Katsina State as differences between Governor Dikko Umar Radda and former Governor Aminu Bello Masari’s political camp deepen.
The disagreement has reportedly created divisions among party leaders and supporters, with the emerging camps increasingly taking opposing positions on political matters in the state.
Radda, who succeeded Masari as governor in 2023, has remained a prominent figure within the Katsina APC. Masari, who governed the state for eight years, also retains significant influence among party stakeholders.
The latest development has reportedly been linked to growing political disagreements involving Radda and Ibrahim Masari, a former political ally of the governor and current Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Political Affairs.
The development has raised concerns among APC stakeholders ahead of the 2027 general elections, with fears that a prolonged internal dispute could weaken the party’s unity and electoral structure in the state.
Party members and political observers are closely watching the situation as efforts to resolve the differences and prevent further escalation continue.
The APC has yet to publicly announce any formal disciplinary action or factional structure arising from the reported disagreement.
