A chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Buba Galadima, has stated that the All Progressives Congress, APC, was out to destroy the NNPP. Galadima also said that former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, is merely a representative of Atiku Abubakar within the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
Galadima warned Atiku not to contest for the presidency again in 2027, saying such a move would further complicate Nigeria’s political scene. He accused the APC-led government of attempting to destabilize the NNPP and the Kano State government, saying all efforts to lure their members would fail.
According to Galadima, the federal government is using security agencies to suppress the NNPP-led administration in Kano. He rejected the claim that the NNPP is working with the APC.
In an interview in Kano, Galadima expressed concern about Atiku’s reported interest in contesting again in 2027, arguing that it would not benefit Nigerians.
He added that El-Rufai is not fit to lead the opposition, stating that the public would not accept him due to past betrayals. He accused El-Rufai of betraying Atiku Abubakar, Olusegun Obasanjo, and others, saying no one would trust him as a political leader.
Galadima emphasized that El-Rufai is not a party founder but is only being used temporarily to hold the SDP for someone else to take over later.
He further accused the APC of deliberately trying to collapse the NNPP government in Kano by offering large sums of money and positions to politicians to switch loyalties. However, he said the plan would not work, as the people of Kano are aware and committed to the party that has brought them development.
On claims that Kwankwaso is supporting Tinubu’s government, Galadima dismissed them as false, reiterating that it is actually the APC that is trying to break the NNPP.
He described Kwankwaso as the most popular politician among the masses in Nigeria, saying no one else enjoys the same level of grassroots support.
Galadima said President Bola Tinubu is his friend, but warned him that trying to destroy the opposition will not bring him political success.
Troops of Operation ENDURING PEACE, OPEP, in collaboration with the Civilian Joint Task Force, CJTF, have arrested a suspected kidnapper linked to the abduction of a resident in Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
This was contained in a statement posted on X by the Nigerian Army.
The post identified the suspect as Buba Ali, 30, adding that he was arrested at about 12:45 pm on Sunday, August 9, at Binawa village in Kauru Local Government Area.
According to post, the suspect was arrested during a joint operation conducted by troops of Sector 7 OPEP and members of the CJTF.
It said the suspect was reportedly linked to the kidnapping of Alhaji Tasi, who was abducted in the village.
“Following his arrest, Ali was taken into custody and is currently being interrogated by security personnel.
“The ongoing investigation is focused on obtaining information that could lead to the identification and arrest of other members of the suspected kidnapping gang,” the Army said.
Nigerian ambassador to South Africa, Femi Fani-Kayode, has rejected claims by an Islamic scholar, Sheikh Yahaya Jingir, that Nigeria is a Muslim country.
In a viral video, Sheikh Jingir, who was preaching to Muslims at an event, said “if you don’t want to accept a Muslim-Muslim ticket, you should leave Nigeria because it belongs to us”.
The comment has continued to generate backlash online as Christians rejected the claim.
Reacting, Fani-kayode in a statement posted on his official X handle on Sunday night, said the cleric’s remark is unhelpful and untrue.
“Worse of all is the fact that it is highly provocative,” the former aviation minister said.
“Kindly take note that it is a very slippery and dangerous slope to take and is best avoided. Nigeria is NOT a Muslim country and neither is she a Christian country.
“She is a SECULAR and MULTI-RELIGIOUS state comprising BOTH Christians and Muslims in equal numbers and that is our strength,” FFK added.
He further stated that President Bola Tinubu’s Muslim/Muslim ticket for 2027 is gaining acceptance “only because of the calibre, ability, sincerity of purpose, character, utility and electoral strength of our Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates and their ability to deliver and not because they are Muslims”.
“One day we may have a Christian/Christian ticket too because with God all things are possible,” he added.
The Osun State Police Command has confirmed the release of the state Commissioner for Environment and Sanitation, Moyowa Adejoorin, who was arrested in connection with a shooting incident at an All Progressives Congress, APC, rally in Ilesa.
The incident occurred on Saturday and reportedly left four people injured, including a teenager identified as Tobi Ilesanmi.
The command’s spokesperson, DSP Abiodun Ojelabi, said Adejoorin was taken into custody after police officers arrived at the scene, secured the area and began collecting evidence.
According to Ojelabi, the commissioner’s vehicle was stopped at the location, where an Amotekun operative allegedly linked to the shooting was also found.
“Immediately the incident was reported, our personnel moved to the scene and cordoned off the area before some exhibits were recovered, which included expended cartridges and Amotekun personnel caps.
“Also, Mr Adejoorin was arrested at the scene and taken to the command for questioning as part of the investigation process,” Ojelabi said.
The development came amid heightened attention to the incident after a video circulated on social media on Sunday showing Adejoorin leaving the police command.
Confirming the development, Ojelabi told Vanguard that the commissioner had been released on bail but said he was still awaiting clarification on the status of the Amotekun operative who was arrested alongside him.
“It is true that the commissioner has been released on bail today, but I am yet to clear the situation with the Amotekun personnel arrested with him,” he said.
Police investigations into the circumstances surrounding the shooting are ongoing.
