In other news, ahead of the 2027 presidential elections, Buba Galadima, a chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of offering financial incentives to opposition parties to secure their support for its candidate.
Galadima alleged that the APC is using monetary promises, intimidation, and other strategies to compel opposition parties to align with the government’s agenda.
He claimed that the APC has already weakened opposition parties such as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the Labour Party (LP), and others.
However, Galadima asserted that the NNPP remains unaffected, describing the party as “too smart” for such tactics.
He further stated that the NNPP leader, Rabiu Kwankwaso, is a significant challenge and “the nightmare of the APC.”
