Buba Galadima, a chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, has said that the party’s presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, was a hero of Saturday’s presidential election.
The NNPP chieftain accused the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, of allegedly not uploading the name and logo of the party on the ballot.
Galadima revealed this in an interview with the Arise News morning show on Wednesday.
“Rabiu Kwankwaso is the hero. He is the only man standing. He has been fought by INEC at the polling units,” Galadima said.
“Do you know NNPP was not on any ballot paper on Saturday? Do you know the symbol of the logo was blank and not identified? Also, the people could not see the fruits in the basket, and the basket looks like a ship,”
Galadima also said the three major political parties were trying to suppress the NNPP. He also claimed that Kwankwaso got 1.5 million votes in Kano state, while INEC declared that the aggregate votes he got were 1.4 million.
“The three major parties before the elections were suppressing our party. While INEC said Kwankwaso got 1.4 million votes, I can tell you that he got 1.5 million votes in Kano,” Galadima added.
