The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Katsina State has been hit by fresh internal turmoil following the resignation of two prominent politicians who contested the party’s 2026 governorship primary. Both men had contested the ADC governorship ticket but lost to Senator Ahmad Babba Kaita and subsequently challenged the process that produced him as the party’s candidate. Inuwa, a veteran politician in Katsina State, announced his return to the APC after months of disagreement with the leadership of the ADC over the governorship primary. Following disagreements arising from the primary, Inuwa defected to the Peoples Democratic Party in October 2022 with his supporters. The former DSS Director-General had similarly challenged the outcome of the ADC governorship primary after losing the ticket to Kaita.
