Only Apc People Are Moving To Sdp Galadima

Alhaji Buba Galadima, a chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party NNPP, has downplayed the defection wave to the Social Democratic Party SDP, saying the party is a branch of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC.

Galadima, speaking on Arise Television on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, said it is not out of place that NNPP chieftains are joining the SDP because, according to him, the party is an appendage of the ruling party.

He said, The SDP that you talked about in your introduction is a branch of the APC. It was those APC people that moved to what you now called SDP. Nothing more. How many people from other parties have moved to the SDP? That is the question the people should ask. So, it is not out of place, youre in Lagos. this is the character of Lagos to decimate opposition.

Galadimas comment followed Malam Nasir El-Rufais call for opposition leaders to join the SDP in 2027 to wrestle power from the APC.
