Shettima Welcomes Mustapha Inuwa Back to APC
On October 4, 2026, Vice President Kashim Shettima officially received Mustapha Inuwa into the All Progressives Congress (APC). Inuwa, a former Secretary to the Katsina State Government and ex-leader of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), had previously resigned from the ADC and urged his supporters to return to the APC.
His return is seen as a strategic move amid political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections, aimed at bolstering the APC's structure in Katsina. Inuwa had been a significant figure in the opposition coalition under the ADC but left due to disagreements over candidate selection processes.
He announced his decision to return to the APC in August, emphasizing it was in the interest of his supporters. Shettima expressed optimism about the APC's prospects in the upcoming elections, commending Governor Dikko Radda for his efforts in reuniting political actors within the party.
Inuwa's return is expected to further consolidate the APC's political machinery in Katsina.
