The political landscape in Katsina State has taken a new turn as former Secretary to the State Government, Mustapha Inuwa, returns to the All Progressives Congress (APC), while former Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Lawal Daura, has joined the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).
The developments have further exposed divisions within the opposition coalition in the state ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Inuwa, a prominent political figure in Katsina, had been associated with the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition but has now returned to the APC, the party controlling the state and the Federal Government.
His return is expected to strengthen the APC’s political structure in Katsina as parties intensify preparations for the 2027 elections.
Meanwhile, Daura’s reported move to the APM signals another significant shift in the state’s political calculations. His departure from the ADC camp comes amid growing disagreements among opposition figures over political strategies and candidate selection.
The latest developments have raised questions about the future of the ADC coalition in Katsina and whether the opposition parties can maintain a united front ahead of the 2027 polls.
Political observers say the movement of influential figures across party lines could reshape alliances and influence the emerging contest for political control in Katsina State.
With the 2027 elections drawing closer, further realignments are expected as political parties and their leading figures position themselves for the next electoral battle.
