Buba Galadima, a chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has stated that the defection of Ibrahim Shekarau to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is a blessing.<\/p>\n
Galadima spoke on Tuesday during an interview published by BBC Hausa.<\/p>\n
On Monday, Ibrahim Shekarau, former governor of Kano state, officially defected to the PDP.<\/p>\n
Last week, Shekarau alleged that Rabiu Kwankwaso, presidential candidate of NNPP, betrayed the agreement they had before he joined the NNPP.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe saw this coming. And what I fear for Mallam Shekarau is he has spoilt his dance with a jump. Because what most people anticipated he was going to do, he didn\u2019t disappoint them,\u201d Galadima said.<\/p>\n

I assure you that him leaving our party, 90 percent of his loyalists won\u2019t join him, they\u2019ll remain in NNPP.<\/p>\n \u201cAs of today, in Nigeria, there\u2019s no candidate who has up to half of the support that Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has in the north.<\/p>\n \u201cWith the difference of one vote, a candidate can become President of Nigeria. Shekarau has more than one vote, we didn\u2019t wish for his departure but now that he has gone, it maybe a blessing to us because if we establish a government, there will be dispute with him when it comes to giving appointments.<\/p>\n \u201cHis position that is now vacant, we will write to INEC. He also wrote to them so that we\u2019ll be given permission to produce a new candidate.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ibrahim Shekarau Buba Galadima, a chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has stated that the defection of Ibrahim Shekarau to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is a blessing.
