A senior figure in the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Buba Galadima, has said that if Nigerians were able to vote out former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015 due to insecurity, they could similarly reject the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, Galadima cautioned that voters might express their frustration at the polls if the country’s economic hardship and security problems persist.
He also criticized the policies of the ruling APC, rejecting suggestions that the standard of living has improved under its leadership. peaking on political dissent and governance, the elder statesman stated that authorities should not underestimate public sentiment, citing incidents of arrests over public commentary.
He lamented the arrest and imprisonment of young people who go on the radio to air their own opinion about the happenings in Nigeria.
The NNPP stalwart told the APC-led Federal Government that they should not presume that Nigerians were gullible and that they cannot react.
“Now things start small, small. You don’t know how they can blossom and become something else. They shouldn’t play.
“If you can remove Jonathan’s government for a simple insecurity in the Northeast, what would you be doing to the APC government? I think we have to cut them into pieces,” he said.
