Two Katsina governorship aspirants, Dr Mustapha Muhammad Inuwa and Lawal Musa Daura, have recently defected from the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Both politicians were defeated in the state's primary elections. Inuwa, a former Secretary to the State Government and Law Minister, has joined the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
In contrast, Daura, formerly a Director-General of the Department of State Services, has aligned with the Allied Movement of Nigeria (APM). Inuwa, who served as Commissioner for Education from 2003 to 2006, later became State Secretary during the administrations of Umaru Musa Yar'Adua and Aminu Bello Masari. He left the APC in 2022, joined the PDP, and subsequently the ADC in 2025.
Following his defection, Daura, who also contested the ADC governorship ticket, may be named as the running mate for Governor Seyi Makinde, the APM presidential candidate.
