Chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Buba Galadima, has declared that the party will play a decisive role in determining who becomes Nigeria’s president in 2027.

Galadima made the bold statement on Monday while speaking on Politics Today, a political programme aired on Channels Television.

“We are the people who will determine who will be the President of Nigeria in 2027,” he said confidently.

The Kano-born politician also used the platform to raise concerns about insecurity in his state, lamenting that criminals continue to terrorise communities with little or no intervention from security agencies.

“In some localities in Kano, criminals are killing people and collecting their GSM phones, while the police are tied down. Are they not ashamed?” Galadima queried.

He went further to accuse the Federal Government of allegedly using security agencies, including the police, to destabilise Kano.

Galadima’s remarks add to the growing political discourse ahead of the 2027 general elections, with the NNPP positioning itself as a potential kingmaker in the country’s presidential race.
