“Tinubu, APC cannot win if 2027 election is free, fair” – Buba Galadima

A chieftain of the New Nigerian People’s Party (NNPP), Buba Galadima has said President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) will be defeated if the 2027 presidential election is free and fair.

Galadima made this assertion during an interview with Trust TV on Friday, January 23.

He said, should the 2027 election reflect the will of the voters, Tinubu will not secure a second term.

“The truth must be told. There is no APC presidential candidate in 2027 that can get the mandate of the people if there is a free and fair election.

“He will not win. If there is a free and fair election, let him try it. I challenge him,” Galadima said.

Making emphasis on the widespread public dissatisfaction of the current administration among Nigerians, especially those in the rural areas and farmers, the NNPP chieftain accused the Tinubu government of deliberately undermining the agricultural sector.

According to him, the Tinubu administration, through unfavourable policies have pushed the cost of importation and other essentials, including fertilisers, to an all-time high.

“Farmers constitute the majority of the Nigerian population. And none of them, no farmer, will vote for an APC government.

“Buyers are not happy with the development, which means next year there will be no incentive for anybody to go to the farm.

“And if they don’t go to the farm, there will be a problem. This government has decided to import things that Nigerians can produce to crash prices,” he said.

Galadima warned that these policies and the harsh realities on ground have continued to deteriorate the living conditions of the people, worsened insecurity among other vices.

“People must eat. Because if they don’t go to the farm, they can’t eat. That makes it easy for me to say that the APC will lose the election flat,” he said.
