SDP: El-Rufai is placeholder for Atiku in case… -Buba Galadima taunts
A chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Buba Galadima has stated that the Social Democratic Party (SDP) coalition is ineffective, calling them mere noisemakers.
Galadima who bared his mind during a Media chat also revealed that the immediate-past governor of Kaduna state, Mallam Nasir El-rufai was just a placeholder for the former Vice President of Nigeria and 2023 Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, in case of any political eventuality.
Mocking the former Kaduna Chief Executive for his party, the All Progressives Congress’s (APC) loss during his tenure as governor, Galadima said “Did El-Rufai win one local government in Kaduna in 2020? He was a sitting governor in Kaduna when PDP won all the 3 senatorial elections.
“He was a sitting governor in Kaduna when the PDP won 12 out of 14 House of Reps, and they won only one, and the other one was won by Labor Party, that is, as a sitting governor. Now that he’s out and even fighting the governor from outside, how many votes do you think he can win?”.
On the SDP coalition and El-rufai’s alliance with Atiku Abubakar, he said “The SDP coalition is ineffective, their activities is merely noise making. El-Rufai is actually serving as a placeholder for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar within the SDP.
“I am surprise at Atiku’s willingness to work with El-Rufai. El-Rufai had previously advised Atiku to save his money for his children and declared that Atiku would never become a President in Nigeria.
The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) would emerge as the larger vehicle to unite opposition parties in the 2027 presidential election”.
