Buba Galadima, a chieftain of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), said President Bola Tinubu is not thinking of contesting the 2027 election with any opposition candidate.
Galadima was said to have addressed the inauguration of the NDC National Reconciliation Committee set up to resolve post-primary election disputes ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He accused Tinubu of making it difficult for other political parties to field candidates, adding that Nigerians must unite and vote him out.

Furthermore,Buba Galadima also said that President Tinubu conceived and perfected the Electoral Act 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 has no intention of a contest with anyone, but we will not allow it. Even if it’s an empty coffin, all Nigerians must unite and throw him away for the sake of the country.” “
Meanwhile, former presidential candidate, Pat Utomi, has talked about his decades long political disagreement with Galadima.
He said that he still maintains good relations with Galadima despite their differences.
Utomi made this in Abuja shortly after the inauguration of the National Reconciliation Committee of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) set up by the party to reconcile aggrieved aspirants and stakeholders after 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.
The committee chairman, Utomi, said at the inauguration that the assignment was a privilege and a major responsibility, adding that the panel would work toward restoring unity in the party while keeping its focus on the future of the country.
