A chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, Buba
Galadima has said it is impossible for the entire northern region to have a
single presidential candidate in the 2027 election.
In an interview with Sun, the former National Secretary of
the defunct Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, explained that in a
democratic setting like Nigeria, electorates have the liberty to make their
different choices.
When asked if the Northerners would pick either Atiku
Abubakar, former presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP or
his NNPP counterpart, Rabiu Kwankwaso, Galadima said, “We are not in the
church; we are not in the mosque. Why should we speak with one voice?
“That is democracy. If you bring three people together,
everybody has got a different way of thinking on how to solve a certain
problem”.
The NNPP chieftain also alleged that the party’s votes in
the 2023 general elections were suppressed.
“NNPP is doing very well because after the elections, we
discovered that our votes were suppressed. Over five million of our votes were
suppressed”, he said.
