Engr. Buba Galadima, a prominent member of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), has criticized Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as having no political worth and owing his current position exclusively to President Bola Tinubu.
Galadima made the comments in response to rumors that Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the NNPP’s 2023 presidential contender, was preparing to rejoin the APC.
In an interview with the Guardian, he charged Ganduje with exploiting Kwankwaso’s name and the NNPP to stay in the public eye.
“You’re telling me this. So, Ganduje will tell Nigerians this if we go to the APC? “Nobody wants to go to APC even because of him,” Galadima told The Guardian.
“It is only Tinubu who can make a Ganduje chairman of a party,” he added, further criticizing the national chairman of the APC. How is Ganduje able to chair anything?
Galadima said that by disseminating lies about the NNPP and its members, the APC leadership is bewildered and finding it difficult to remain relevant.
Because they are perplexed, they are the ones who are keeping us in the news. Across the nation, everything is in disarray,” he declared.
These are the same individuals who disparage us in NNPP via propaganda and social media. They will spread rumors that Kwankwaso is traveling to France to lobby Mr. President if they are not asserting that Kwankwaso is employed by President Tinubu.

“There is nothing like that,” he said, categorically rejecting any discussions or plans for Kwankwaso or the NNPP to rejoin the APC. In actuality, I can tell you.
Galadima also made fun of the APC’s fixation on the 2027 elections, saying that only those politicians who have let their constituents down turn to politics in the middle of their terms.
He insisted that the NNPP stays committed to providing accountable and responsive governance, pointing out that only political failures discuss the next election in the middle of their terms.
His words followed Ganduje’s previous statements at the APC national secretariat in Abuja, where the chairman stated that Kwankwaso was anticipated to rejoin the ruling party after the 2023 elections, citing what he called the NNPP’s demise.
