President Bola Tinubu is not thinking of contesting the 2027 election with any opposition candidate, Buba Galadima, a chieftain of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has said.
Galadima was said to have spoken at the inauguration of the NDC National Reconciliation Committee established to resolve post-primary election disputes ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He accused Tinubu of making it difficult for other political parties to produce candidates, emphasizing that Nigerians must come together and vote him out.
Buba Galadima also stated further that the Electoral Act was designed and perfected by President Tinubu before it was taken to the National Assembly.
“Tinubu is just protecting himself and the APC and preventing other parties from fielding candidates,” he said.

“The president is not thinking of a contest with anyone, but we will not allow it. Even if it’s an empty coffin, all Nigerians must come together and throw him out for the sake of this country.” “
Meanwhile, former presidential candidate, Pat Utomi, has spoken about his decades-long political disagreements with Galadima.
He said that he still has a cordial relationship with Galadima despite their differences.
Utomi said this in Abuja shortly after the inauguration of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) National Reconciliation Committee, set up by the party to reconcile aggrieved aspirants and stakeholders following its nationwide congresses, convention and primaries.
Utomi said he believed the NDC could bring together its aggrieved members ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The committee was inaugurated 48 hours after the party announced its constitution, as part of efforts to address grievances and litigation arising from the just concluded primaries ahead of the 2027 polls.
Speaking at the inauguration, Utomi, who is also 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.
