Kano APC Crisis Deepens as Barau and Ganduje Factions Hold Parallel Meetings

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano is embroiled in a crisis as factions led by Barau Jibrin and Umar Abdullahi Ganduje held parallel meetings, showcasing internal rifts. Ganduje's faction met with key party members, while Barau's loyalists gathered separately to strategize on resolving leadership issues.

Political analysts warn that failure to reconcile the factions could harm the party's prospects in the 2027 elections. The crisis predates Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf's defection, with long-standing disagreements between the factions.

The NNPP, led by the Kwankwasiyya Movement, could capitalize on the APC's divisions. Urgent steps are needed to unite the party and prevent opposition gains.
