Buba Galadima, a senior member of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), claims that due to a lack of resources, the group decided not to appeal Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s election victory to the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal.
According to news sources, Tinubu’s victory is being contested before the tribunal by the presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP), Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi.
Galadima said that the NNPP’s success was entirely evaluated by its reputation and financial resources during an appearance on Arise News on Thursday.

The party is not in court, according to Galadima, because it lacks the wherewithal to contest the results of the presidential election.
He said: “First, we have to place on record that it’s the PDP that has expelled both Kwankwaso and myself. So we wouldn’t have been in a race just to stop them from winning an election.
“But we also know that even going to court entails a lot of resources which we didn’t have. Our performance was measured solely on our credibility and not on the deep pocket.
“For anybody to go to court to challenge an election, that person must have not less than N5 billion naira. We don’t have that money to do that.”
