Katsina APC Crisis: Governor's ADC and CSO Questioned
The political crisis within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Katsina State escalated when Governor Dikko Umaru Radda’s Aide-de-Camp (ADC) and Chief Security Officer (CSO) were invited to the Force Headquarters in Abuja on August 20, 2026. This invitation raised concerns regarding the rivalry between factions supporting Radda and those loyal to Ibrahim Kabir Masari, Special Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Political Matters.
While the police have not publicly detailed the reasons for the invitation, sources indicated it followed a directive from Inspector-General of Police Tunji Disu due to complaints linked to political interests within the APC. The ADC and CSO, responsible for the governor's security, faced questioning, which has heightened tensions within the party, particularly concerning control over its structure ahead of the 2027 elections.
The police clarified that the officers were not arrested for any criminal allegations, emphasizing that preliminary investigations found no wrongdoing.
