APC is trying to manipulate 2023 election through INEC Chairman – Galadima

Buba Galadima, A chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Buba Galadima has alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is planning to manipulate the 2023 election through the INEC Chairman.  According to Galadima, the APC is putting pressure on the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu to dump the use of the Bimodal Voter Registration System (BVAS) as well as the plan for the electronic transmission of results in 2023.

Galadima made the allegation on Thursday during an interview appearance with Channels Television. He alleged that the ruling party wants Yakubu to write the National Assembly to that effect and then seek approval from President Muhammadu Buhari to alter the 2022 Electoral Act by signing an amendment based on the decision of the lawmakers.

He said; “INEC chairman is under extensive pressure to tamper with the Electoral Act because the ruling party wanted to table an issue before the National Assembly such that they will force the Chairman to write to National Assembly that it should not be compelling INEC to use the BVAS machine and this is the greatest disservice and an unpatriotic thing some elements in the ruling party are trying to put forward.

“They want to amend the Electoral Act, therefore, I want the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari to take note of some bad elements that want to smear his image when he leaves office.”

It is imperative to note that Galadima was a former member of the board of trustees (BoT) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), But is now a Chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP). Speaking on the possible result of the election, he said Rabiu Kwankwaso, the presidential flagbearer of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) will win all the states in the north in the 2023 general election.

“PDP is not even on the ballot because its strength is in the south-east, which has been eroded by Peter Obi. The next strength of PDP is in the south-south. With Wike never supporting Atiku, the south-south is gone,” he said.

“The northeast is completely Kwankwaso because he will win Taraba, Adamawa, Gombe, and Bauchi, including the governorship. He will win the north-east, north-central, and will win north-west. All combined, they have over 50-something million voters.

“Kwankwaso will poach the south-south, south-east, and part of the south-west. I assure you that all Nigerians who desire freedom, development, progress, and health services, have no other person to vote for than senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.”
