An African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain, Buba Galadima, has declared that President Bola Tinubu would lose the 2027 presidential election regardless of the candidate fielded against him.
Galadima made the comment at the ADC national convention on Tuesday in Abuja, which was held at Rainbow Event Centre. “Even if there is no living human being in Nigeria and we bring a corpse in a coffin and put it against President Tinubu, I assure you that that corpse will win the election in 2027”, he said. He commended the ADC for proceeding with its convention despite what he described as threats and intimidation.
Galadima, who alleged that there were attempts to frustrate the event, including pressure on the venue’s owner, described the successful hosting of the convention as a test of the opposition’s resolve.
“This is a test ground. Have we not held this convention today here? They may not even allow us to campaign in Nigeria. It is important that nobody in this country should set the pace on how our political behaviour should be. We must assert ourselves whether they like it or not.
“We have seen that the APC and its government have tried to destroy the PDP, the SDP, the NNPP, the Labour Party, and indeed the ADC. Any attempt to intimidate or to frustrate us, we must stand and say no. It is only our resilience, boldness and courage that will deliver us”, he stated.
