Buba Galadima, a former director general of the Nigeria Maritime Authority (NMA) and a chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) from Yobe state, has forecasted that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), will lose during the 2023 presidential election.
Galadima said this during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, on Thursday night, which was duly monitored by Truth Live News.
The former NMA boss said; “PDP is not even on the ballot because its strength is in the south-east, which has been eroded by Peter Obi (Labour Party presidential candidate). The next strength of PDP is in the south-south. With Wike never supporting Atiku, the south-south is gone,” Galadima said.
He further said that the NNPP candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso dominates the whole North, including the home state of the PDP candidate, so he stands no chances there either.
“The north-east is completely Rabiu Kwankwaso (NNPP presidential candidate) because he will win Taraba, Adamawa, Gombe, and Bauchi, including the governorship.
“He will win the north-east, north-central, and will win the north-west. All combined, they have over 50-something million voters.
“Kwankwaso will poach the south-south, south-east, and part of the south-west.”
