Buba Galadima, a chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), has said that the Supreme Court’s decision to affirm Governor Abba Yusuf’s election, prevented potential chaos in Kano State last Friday.
Galadima, known for criticizing the All Progressives Congress (APC), commended President Bola Tinubu for refraining from interfering with the judiciary. He acknowledged that Nigeria narrowly escaped turmoil, emphasizing that the nation’s stability was at stake.
Reflecting on the political dynamics in Kano, Galadima disclosed a plot to forcefully seize power from the NNPP, which recently ousted the APC in the elections. He praised the Supreme Court for restoring the judiciary’s honor and averting potential street unrest.
“There was a plan to take Kano by force from every level, but I congratulate the Supreme Court for restoring the honour, dignity of the judiciary.
“If they had ruled otherwise, they could have been stoned on the street of Nigeria and nobody could be able to ride a car with the inscription of Supreme Court of Nigeria, and there would have been a total of confidence in the judiciary and I don’t think anybody would ever dream of going to the Supreme Court to seek redress,” he said.
