Galadima Accuses APC of Bribing Lawmakers for 2027 Elections

Buba Galadima, a chieftain of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of offering substantial financial incentives to lawmakers to abandon their electoral ambitions ahead of the 2027 elections. During an interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time programme, Galadima claimed that state assembly members were allegedly being offered N50 million, while House of Representatives members were promised N200 million and a car to withdraw from the race.

He stated that this alleged bribery is part of the APC's strategy to consolidate its power before the elections, with claims that some candidates have already forfeited their tickets after receiving these payments. Galadima mentioned that a woman from Zamfara State was coordinating the distribution of money from a hotel in Abuja and linked this arrangement to the APC national leadership, specifically mentioning a recent meeting with APC National Chairman Professor Nentawe Yilwatda.

No evidence was provided to substantiate these claims.
