Galadima Warns of Opposition Uncertainty Ahead of 2027 Elections

Buba Galadima, a chieftain of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), commented on the political climate in Nigeria as the country approaches the 2027 general elections, noting an unusual absence of election fervor with less than 100 days remaining. In an interview with Arise TV, he expressed concern that many political figures outside the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) are uncertain about their ability to participate in the elections.

Galadima stated, “I don’t think there is any candidate outside APC that is sure of contesting this election,” and alleged that the APC is using political and financial means to persuade opposition candidates to withdraw. He claimed that state assembly candidates are being offered N50 million to surrender their tickets, while House of Representatives candidates are allegedly being offered N200 million and a vehicle to withdraw their candidacies.

His remarks come as political parties and aspirants gear up for the upcoming elections.
