The emerging issues in the Katsina State chapter of the PDP, brewing between Ibrahim Shehu Shema, the former Katsina governor and Mustapha Inuwa poses a threat to the party’s gubernatorial candidate, Lado Danmarke, in the coming elections.
It is a known fact that Shema and the former APC chieftain were not in good terms over a series of litigations and un-aligning interests, and since the defection of Inuwa from the APC, who is considered to be one of the most influential politicians in Katsina politics, the old wounds seem to have been gouged, birthing fresh animosity and rift.
Apart from the bitter experiences that started when Shema was the governor, the issue this time is now a fight of supremacy and party leadership, of which Inuwa’s membership in the PDP is beginning to outshine Shema’s strength and popularity, who hitherto was the leader.
