Buba Galadima Warns Tinubu Not Planning 2027 Contest, Urges Nigerians to Unite and Vote Him Out
The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) chieftain, Buba Galadima, has stated that President Bola Tinubu is not thinking of contesting the 2027 election against any opposition candidate.
He alleged that Tinubu is making it difficult for other political parties to produce candidates, insisting that Nigerians must come together and vote him out.
Galadima further claimed that the Electoral Act was designed and perfected by President Tinubu even before it was submitted to the National Assembly.
“Tinubu is only protecting himself and the APC and making it difficult for other parties to produce candidates,” he said. “The president is not thinking of a contest with anybody, but we won’t allow it. Even if it’s an empty coffin, all Nigerians must come together and throw him out for the sake of this country.”
Utomi Calls for NDC Unity Ahead of 2027 Polls
Former presidential candidate Pat Utomi addressed his long‑standing political disagreements with Galadima, noting that despite their differences, he maintains a cordial relationship with the NDC leader.
Utomi made these remarks in Abuja shortly after the inauguration of the Nigeria Democratic Congress National Reconciliation Committee, which was set up by the party to reconcile aggrieved aspirants and stakeholders following its nationwide congresses, convention and primaries.
He expressed confidence that the NDC could reunite its disgruntled members ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The committee was inaugurated barely 48 hours after the party announced its constitution, part of efforts to address grievances and litigation arising from the recently concluded primaries.
Speaking at the inauguration, Utomi, who also serves as the committee chairman, described the assignment as both a privilege and a major responsibility, saying the panel would work to restore unity within the party while keeping its focus on Nigeria’s future.
