Rift in Katsina APC as Governor Radda Faces Exclusion
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Katsina State is experiencing an internal crisis following the exclusion of Governor Radda and some associates from the party's Presidential Campaign Council. This situation escalated after the governor's ADC and CSO were invited to Abuja for questioning regarding the alleged destruction of billboards featuring Masari and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Anietie Iniedu, a Chief Superintendent of Police, clarified that they were not arrested but invited for an interview. There are conflicting reports about their release status.
The billboards reportedly favored images of President Tinubu and Masari over that of Governor Radda, raising concerns about a rift between local APC members and influential Abuja-based politicians. The crisis has resulted in two factions within the party: "Katsina APC," loyal to Radda, and "Katsina/Abuja APC," representing federal-level politicians.
Governor Radda has accused certain forces in Abuja of attempting to undermine his administration.
