Intraparty conflict in the Kano chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC) is taking more dimensions few days after the Federal High Court in Abuja annulled the congresses conducted by Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje led faction, recognising the one conducted by Shekarau led faction.
Since the court verdict, the party in the state has been in shambles as different interpretations continue to trail the verdict between the loyalists from the two blocs.

Though the state government had issued a statement saying that the decision does not affect the party structures, media reports still suggest that Ganduje led faction chaired by Abdullahi Abbas has lost control of the party.
This took another turn on Saturday when Governors Kayode Fayemi and Abubakar Badaru of Ekiti and Jigawa states both addressed Ahmadu Haruna Danzago as Kano APC chairman in their separate remarks at the public lecture marking the 21st anniversary of the Aminu Kano Centre for democratic studies, Bayero University, Kano.
Daily Trust reports that this was the first time the new APC chairman is being addressed publicly at a function as the state APC chairman.
Recall that the two factions of the party in the state conducted parallel congresses on October 18 Ahmadu Haruna Danzago and Abdullahi Abbas were elected by their respective factions.
This development threw the party into conflict which was eventually settled in court.
