A chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Buba Galadima, has alleged that former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, is a placeholder for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, ex-presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in the Social Democratic Party, SDP.

Galadima made the revelation during an interview with AIT.

He wondered why Atiku would agree to work with El-Rufai, considering his previous attacks on the Vice President.

Stressing that El-Rufai has no political relevance, Galadima said the intending SDP coalition was ineffective and merely noisemaking.

Galadima said: “Did El-Rufai win one local government in Kaduna in 2020? He was a sitting governor in Kaduna when PDP won all three senatorial elections.

“He was a sitting governor in Kaduna when the PDP won 12 out of 14 House of Reps seats, and they won only one, while the other one was won by the Labour 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?”


“The SDP coalition is ineffective; their activities are merely noisemaking. El-Rufai is actually serving as a placeholder for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar within the SDP.”

“I am surprised 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 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.”

Atiku, El-Rufai, and some eminent politicians had announced the birth of a coalition under the SDP.

Following the declaration, a former presidential candidate of SDP, Adewale Adebayo, said Atiku, Peter Obi, and some eminent politicians are in talks to the party. Adebayo said the coalition would wrest power from President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

When we say Jagaban is the god of Politics, it's a fact. Look how all political maneuvering and secretive moves of the opposition are being easily
exposed in a very short time. Even the PDP Governors coming out to reject the idea of a coalition. And these are what Jagaban had done in the past catching the ruiling party unawares. By the time, they knew, it was too late. It's easy when someone is pulling the string and they were following but now that they have the big task of replicating it, they are here messing and farting around. It's just like Messi making difficult things in football look easy but when other players wanted to do it, they realize how difficult it is. I don't like talking too much.

This should not surprise anyone. El rufai and Atiku are both Fulani. Both have kept silent while there people keep killing Nigerians.


My message to indigenous people is not to fight Fulani herdsmen, rather:
1. Allow them raype all your women, old and young. If if they want gaye sẹks with you, give it to them hot hot.

2. Surrender your lands to them and let them be sending you on errands.

3. Give them all the money your family send you from abroad, let them give you any percentage they deem fit.

4. Let your traditional rulers go to Sokoto every month to prostrate before the sultan that he may place his left leg on them.

5. Anytime you cook, if at all they let you, ensure that their cattle taste the food before you eat it. In fact the ruminants must eat to satisfaction before you do.

6. Continue crying to the government like imbecils when they atack you.

7. If by any chance you summon courage to fyte back, make sure you record the action and post the videos to your social media platforms so that you can be identified and arrested.

He is closer to all of them than you are with your keyboard. Saraki has also dismissed the coalition before the Governors and other PDP stakeholders came out to knock down any idea of coalition but when Saraki said it, una say na fake news.
With Wike in PDP, Atiku will not get PDP ticket and he will need the SDP to fulfill his ambition.

Is there anything that Atiku is getting from being a perennial presidential candidate apart from trying to fulfill his Kahin dream?

I think Buba Galadima has miscalculated completely.
By his words, I perceive that Galadima has in a subtle manner informed us of the intention of El Rufai to contest the Presidency in 2027 and 2031. El Rufai cannot be a placeholder to anyone; not even when he was not at this height in his political trajectory.

I do not foresee the fusing together of parties in the like of APC in 2014 happening again. Some of the major players in 2014, either have remained with the APC, decamped or chosen to stay aloof.

Atiku has over the years moved from PDP to ACN, to APC and back to PDP. He was also a member of SDP in the days of Abiola/Shehu Yaradua. The last election taught him a deep lesson. He lost two people strong persons because of his miscalculations. They were Peter Obi and Nyesom Wike. Obi had the people and Wike had the financial muscle. Presently, Atiku is getting de-marketed by Wike and co., but even at that, he has no reason at this stage of his political career to return to SDP, where he knows that his chances would be much lower.

We must also not forget that by their power sharing calculations, the South has a further four years to do after 2027. BAT intends to complete two as is customary with them. How to defeat BAT on the platform of PDP should be Atiku’s priority. Who will be the suitable southern candidate to go against BAT should be the priority. APC is the ruling party, with a strong southern candidate. APC will not give chances, especially as the party intends to handover to a northern candidate in 2031, if possible. Therefore northern of the APC will not fold their hands and watch the party lose to any other party, not especially to the north in 2027.

How to reposition PDP, badly damaged by the same Galadima, Atiku and co, should be uppermost in his heart.

I do not expect SDP to make more inroads than it made in 2023. There’s no nationally accepted leader in the party, who can galvanize the citizens. El Rufai certainly is not in that mould.

No matter the permutations, moving over to SDP for 2027, will prove a costly mistake to Atiku.
