The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has explained that it chose not to join the coalition led by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) because it does not want to abandon its own political structure for an alliance whose direction and outcome remain uncertain.
The Secretary of the party’s Board of Trustees, Buba Galadima, made this known in an interview with the BBC Hausa.
“They did not approach us to join our party, yet they expect us to leave ours and join theirs—on what grounds?”; Galadima questioned.
He further challenged politicians across Nigeria to establish their own parties and test whether they could achieve the kind of political influence wielded by his leader, Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso.
While acknowledging that forming a coalition could potentially strengthen the opposition, Galadima maintained that such an alliance faces significant challenges ahead
