Galadima Accuses Fayemi of Plotting Against Tinubu in 2027

Alhaji Buba Galadima, a chieftain of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), alleged that former Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi is collaborating with opposition figures to undermine President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid in the 2027 elections. During an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, Galadima stated that he is part of a group of seven opposition candidates, coordinated by Fayemi, who are actively working to defeat Tinubu.

He expressed confidence that the NDC's presidential candidate, Peter Obi, would win if the elections are conducted fairly. A media aide to Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, responded to Galadima's claims, stating that he would not accept them until Fayemi publicly denies the allegations.

Fayemi, a founding member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has previously criticized the ruling party. On March 23, 2026, the APC's National Secretary urged Fayemi to resign if he no longer supports the party's ideals, warning of potential disciplinary actions for alleged anti-party activities.
