A chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Buba Galadima, 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 said this to newsmen this Tuesday, saying the defection is not out of place.
He says it is APC members that moved to SDP, saying not many people from other parties have moved to the SDP.
Galadima’s comment follows Nasir El-Rufai’s call for opposition leaders to join the SDP in 2027 to take power from the APC.
Recall that El-Rufai, announced his defection from APC to SDP on Monday, 10th March, 2025.
