Fresh ripples have hit Katsina politics as Abduljabbar Surajo Guga has defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) following his failure to secure the party’s ticket for the Bakori/Danja Federal Constituency.
The development comes amid ongoing consensus arrangements within the APC, which have continued to reshape political alignments and trigger discontent among sidelined aspirants.
Sources say Guga’s defection underscores growing frustration within the party’s ranks, as some stakeholders question the transparency and inclusiveness of the consensus process.
Political observers note that the move could alter the dynamics of the upcoming contest in the constituency, potentially strengthening the PDP’s position while exposing cracks within the APC structure in Katsina.
As the 2027 race gathers momentum, the fallout from consensus politics appears to be redrawing loyalties—one defection at a time.
