Fierce opposition politician Buba Galadima has hinted that a former governor of Kano state, Rabiu Kwankwaso is set to join another political party next week. Galadima is a close ally of former governor of Kano state and the 2023 Presidential candidate of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP.
Galadima made the remark at a stakeholders’ meeting organised by the Obi-Kwankwaso Movement in Abuja, the nation’s capital as his principal, Kwankwaso is trying to forge a joint presidential ticket with the 2023 Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP Peter Obi for the 2027 presidential election.
Kwankwaso is currently a member of the embattled African Democratic Congress, ADC, which last week received the Supreme Court’s affirmation of the leadership of Senator David Mark.
But Galadima has described the apex court ruling as a trap for the opposition coalition in the country which is trying to forge a united front against the ruling All progressives Congress, APC and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 election.
As such, the politician said his principal is set to join another party next week to actualise his joint presidential ambition with a former Governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi under what is now known as Obi/ Kwankwaso Movement. The duo is said to be planning to defect to another party together to actualise their ambitions.
Speaking, the former NNPP chieftain said plan is in the offing for the former Kano helmsman to join another party, urging Nigerians and supporters to prepare for the new reality as the ADC is no longer a viable option for Kwankwaso because of the problems ravaging the party, which he accused the ruling party of instigating.
“As from Monday” the former governor will unveil his new political platform revealing that the ruling party will try all in its capacity to destroy the opposition by launching media attacks on its leaders, including Kwankwaso, saying they are prepared for such attacks.
He described the ongoing attacks against the opposition as a war, drawing reference from the US/ Isreal- Iran war, the fierce politician said they are also ready for whatever is coming, urging the supporters of the former governor to fight back as his traducers in the ruling APC will try to destroy his image and other opposition leaders sin the country.
Galadima: “As from Monday, when our leaders declare on which platform they will run, I want to tell you that one of two things will happen. And I’m here to guide you on your response to what will happen.
“First, they will sponsor columnists. Two, they will deploy social media influencers to start attacking our candidates. For all of you who are on social media and those you with the mighty pen, you must be prepared to respond to anything they are going to say.
“Anything under the sun that they may say about our leaders that we know very well, people of integrity and honour, we must come to them with the ferociousness that is needed of an intelligent man.
“For all of you who are on social media and those with the mighty pen, you must be prepared to respond to anything they are going to say. I’m sorry to bring up something that is not on the table, but I’m doing it as an example. If you have been following the US and the Iran war, you will remember that the US and Israel attacked first, and Iran responded.
“The analogy I’m going to draw here is that don’t call anybody any name until they call our leaders names. Then we will respond with the greatest might of intellect in us. These are people who are living in their comfort zones, and they want to start a war. We will help them add kerosene. We are already lying flat on the floor. Are we afraid to fall? So over to them,” he said.
