Galadima Calls Obi/Kwankwaso Ticket a 'Healing Ticket

Buba Galadima, a chieftain of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), referred to the proposed presidential ticket of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso as a “healing ticket” for Nigeria during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today. He stated that this alliance aims to rebuild trust among Nigerians and is the only viable option to salvage the country.

Galadima highlighted that if elected, Obi would focus on three critical areas: security, agriculture, and education. He noted that the combination of Kwankwaso’s support in the North and Obi’s base in the South creates a formidable coalition for the upcoming 2027 elections.

Galadima expressed confidence that the Obi/Kwankwaso ticket could win if the elections are free and fair, while accusing President Bola Tinubu of mobilizing academics for political endorsements. He also criticized former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for his past actions regarding privatization and alleged intentions to sell national assets.
