Buba Galadima, a prominent member of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), has declared that the northern region cannot produce a single presidential candidate for the 2027 election.
The former national secretary of the now-defunct Congress for Progressive Change, or CPC, stated in an interview with Sun that voters in democratic countries like Nigeria are free to choose other options.
Galadima responded, “We are not in the church; we are not in the mosque,” when asked whether of the two NNPP presidential candidates, Atiku Abubakar, the former candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), or Rabiu Kwankwaso, would be chosen by the people of the North. Why should our voices be raised as one?

Democracy is that. Bring three people together, and each will have a distinct approach to solving a given problem.
The leader of the NNPP further claimed that votes for the party were stifled in the general elections of 2023.
“NNPP is thriving because we found out that our votes were tampered with after the election. We had almost five million votes suppressed, he claimed.
