Factional tensions emerge in APC as Shettima and Ganduje camps vie for control.
Following Ganduje’s resignation, insider sources report deepening factional rivalries swinging around Vice President Kashim Shettima and the outgoing chairman’s loyalists.
The debate centers on who will control crucial committee and appointment spots ahead of the 2027 elections.
One faction supports Shettima’s rise, seeing it as a generational shift, while Ganduje’s supporters advocate for continuity and managerial experience.
Experts warn that unresolved factionalism could destabilize party strategy during upcoming primaries in several pivotal states.
Some APC leaders have called for urgent reconciliatory dialogue to prevent further fragmentation and potential defections.
