Northern elder statesman and prominent political figure, Buba Galadima, has commented on the possible political outlook ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections, arguing that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) may struggle to secure victory through normal democratic competition if current trends continue.…....
Speaking during an interview on Platinum TV, Galadima alleged that recent opinion polls conducted by international organisations suggest a significant decline in the popularity of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the APC across the country. He claimed that one of the polls reportedly placed the president’s support at 18 percent, while another more favourable result indicated 22 percent.
According to him, these figures reflect a growing dissatisfaction among Nigerians, which he believes could affect the ruling party’s chances at the polls if not addressed. He further argued that the APC’s political strength has been weakening steadily, insisting that public confidence in the government is on a downward trajectory.
In his remarks, Galadima stated that the APC would not have a realistic chance of winning elections through genuine voter support if the situation remains unchanged. He suggested that any potential electoral success for the party would not come from the ballot but from disruptions during the voting process.
stating:
“They will have no chance at all to win any election. The only chance they have is by using people to facilitate chaos in their polling units, in such a way that they can write figures and announce themselves winners.”
He further warned that such a scenario, if it occurs, would undermine the credibility of the electoral process and deepen political tensions in the country.
