The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Katsina State has split leadership after two separate congresses held on Tuesday and Thursday produced rival chairmen. At the Tuesday event, Musa Wamba was re-elected as state chairman with Nasir Umar named secretary-general. A different faction convened on Thursday and elected Mohammed Rimi as chairman and Abubakar Adhama as secretary-general. The national secretariat of the ADC had previously declared the Tuesday congress unauthorised, stating that official party congresses were scheduled for later dates. The split follows internal tensions linked to the recent defection of several politicians into the party. Disagreements over leadership appointments and party structure have intensified the rift. Both factions have refused to back down, leaving the party's leadership in Katsina in dispute.
