Galadima, a prominent figure in the New Nigeria Peoples Party, made the remarks during an appearance on Politics Today on Thursday, where he launched a sweeping attack on the APC’s record in government and flatly rejected official claims that living standards are improving.
The veteran politician raised alarm over what he described as a dangerous pattern of silencing dissent, pointing to the arrest and prosecution of young men in Kano for expressing opinions on radio programmes.
Galadima urged the government not to take Nigerian voters for granted, drawing a sharp comparison with the 2015 general election, when former President Goodluck Jonathan was voted out of office largely due to the Boko Haram insurgency ravaging the North-East.
