Abba Mangal Clinches APC Consensus Ticket, Ousting Incumbent Rep in Katsina Central

Incumbent Hon. Sani Aliyu Danlami has lost the APC consensus ticket for the 2027 Katsina Central election. Party stakeholders spent days consulting before settling on Abba Mangal, son of businessman Dahiru Mangal. The decision marks a major shift in the constituency. Danlami, now in his second term, was widely expected to secure the ticket based on his grassroots structure. Mangal’s emergence surprised many as he did not publicly declare interest. Danlami has urged his supporters to stay calm and maintain party unity. Sources say the two-day consensus process involved several aspirants and intense lobbying from political backers. Attention now turns to how aggrieved aspirants will respond and whether the APC can stay cohesive in the lead-up to the polls.
