Alhaji Buba Galadima, a prominent leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), has downplayed the recent wave of defections to the Social Democratic Party (SDP), labeling the latter as merely an extension of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
In an interview on Arise Television on Tuesday, 18th of March 2025, Galadima expressed that it was unsurprising for NNPP members to join the SDP, as he believes the party functions as a satellite organization of the APC.
According to him, these defections align with the political dynamics where the SDP essentially serves as an appendage to the ruling party’s agenda.
He said,
“The SDP that you talked about in your introduction is a branch of the APC. It was those APC people that moved to what you now called SDP. Nothing more. How many people from other parties have moved to the SDP? That is the question the people should ask. So, it is not out of place, you’re in Lagos. this is the character of Lagos to decimate opposition.”
Alhaji Buba Galadima’s remarks came in response to Malam Nasir El-Rufai’s recent call for opposition leaders to join the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in 2027, with the aim of challenging the dominance of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the upcoming presidential race.
El-Rufai, who defected from the APC to the SDP earlier in March, has been actively reaching out to leaders and members of other opposition parties.
He is encouraging them to join his new party, in a bid to create a formidable opposition force as the 2027 presidential election draws nearer. [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>>
