A chieftain of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, Buba
Galadima, has explained why the former presidential candidate of his party will
not join the government of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
Galadima accused the federal government of appointing two
emirs in Kano, noting that there is a federal government emir and a state emir.
The NNPP chieftain stated this on Monday while fielding
questions on Channels TV’s Politics Today programme.
He said: “Why can’t we Nigerians look at issues
dispassionately? How can Kwankwaso be a friend of the APC with what they are
doing to us in Kano?
“They appointed two emirs in one town. There is a federal
government emir, and there is a state emir. Who has got the responsibility to
appoint the emir and pay them their salary?
“The federal government have their emir. They have not less
than 40 pickup trucks filled with mobile police guarding their own emir.
“It’s a federal government appointee because it’s the
Federal High Court that has ruled halfway to suggest so. I’m not making an
accusation. I’m making a statement.”
