A chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Buba Galadima, has accused the government of President Bola Tinubu of being unwilling to conduct free and fair elections in 2027.
Naijaonpoint reports that Galadima made this assertion in an interview on the Arise Television programme ‘Prime Time’ on Monday.
He alleged that the Tinubu administration’s tactics to destabilise opposition parties indicate a desire to eliminate any challenge in the next election.
However, the NNPC chieftain maintained that there will be opposition at the polls, stressing that the All Progressives Congress (APC) government risks losing the elections if it does not change its style of governance.
He said, “This government is not ready to organise a free and fair election. From their antics and how they are destabilising parties, that suggests they don’t want an opposition at all for the election.
“I want to assure them that there will be opposition, and if they don’t change their style of governance, they will lose this election.”
Speaking further, Galadima described the former governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso, as the “generalissimo” of Nigerian politics, adding that he would always win Kano in a free and fair election.
He declared, “Kwankwaso is the generalissimo of Nigeria’s politics because he is the only one, come rain, come shine, who, if there is a free and fair election, will deliver the most populous state in Nigeria.”
