Political elder statesman and New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) chieftain, Engr. Buba Galadima, has dropped a massive bombshell that is currently sending shockwaves across the nation’s political landscape.
Speaking during a fiery television interview, the outspoken politician alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is actively offering staggering financial incentives—ranging from ₦50 million to ₦2 billion—to opposition candidates across various levels to force them to step down ahead of the 2027 general elections.
According to Galadima, the strategy is part of a calculated campaign to systematically weaken opposition parties, neutralize competitive races, and turn Nigeria into a de facto one-party state. He claimed that several political figures across opposition ranks have already been approached with tempting cash offers, appointments, and promises of political protection if they agree to withdraw their candidacies.
“They are approaching opposition figures everywhere, offering between ₦50 million and ₦2 billion just for them to step aside or align with the ruling party,” Galadima asserted, warning that such practices undermine the integrity of Nigeria’s democracy and rob voters of real alternatives at the ballot box.
His explosive claims have ignited intense arguments online, with opposition supporters calling for immediate investigations, while ruling party defenders dismiss the allegations as baseless political sensationalism designed to gather cheap publicity.
