The crisis within the Katsina State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has worsened, as a new faction emerged on Friday. This split signals growing tensions within the party as members struggle for influence and control.
This new group is led by Senator Yakubu Lado, who recently inaugurated a newly elected chairman, Alhaji Nura Amadi Kurfi, along with other officials. The inauguration ceremony took place at the PDP state office in Katsina and was attended by various party members and supporters.


During the event, Kurfi expressed gratitude to the national leadership of the PDP and Senator Lado for their efforts in guiding the party to victory in the 2023 general elections in Katsina State. He emphasized the importance of moving forward and addressing the party’s internal challenges. Kurfi highlighted several key priorities for the faction, including unity among party members, law and order, promoting internal democracy, and ensuring a fair playing field for the upcoming 2027 elections.
This development follows tensions within the party, particularly a previous faction led by Mustapha Inuwa. Inuwa’s group has sought legal action due to claims that its members were excluded from participating in the recent state congresses. This exclusion has led to further division and accusations of unfair practices within the party, complicating the already fragile situation.


The Lado-led faction conducted congresses at various levels, from local wards to the state level, in an effort to establish legitimacy and gain broader support. The emergence of this new faction raises questions about the party’s unity and effectiveness in addressing the concerns of its members. As both factions vie for control, the potential for further division looms.
Political analysts suggest that the ongoing conflict could hinder the PDP’s ability to present a united front in future elections. The situation also reflects broader issues within the party, such as leadership struggles and challenges related to member engagement.
As the PDP navigates these internal conflicts, the focus will need to be on reconciliation and collaboration to avoid damaging its reputation and electoral prospects. The coming weeks will be crucial for both factions as they attempt to assert their influence and establish a clear path forward for the party in Katsina State.
With the 2027 elections on the horizon, the need for unity and a cohesive strategy is more important than ever. The outcome of this factional dispute will likely play a significant role in shaping the political landscape in Katsina State in the years to come.
