Galadima calls Obi-Kwankwaso ticket a healing ticket to unite Nigeria

Engineer Buba Galadima, leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, described the Peter Obi-Rabiu Kwankwaso presidential ticket as a 'healing ticket' capable of uniting Nigeria, speaking in an Arise News interview on Wednesday (July 15, 2026). He said the alliance aims to bridge North-South East divides and has worked over two years to reduce tensions.

Galadima said Obi pledged to prioritize security, agriculture, and education if elected, involving alliance members in implementation. He dismissed critics, noting former VP Atiku Abubakar previously chose South-East running mates, and stressed the ticket transcends ethnic/religious lines, focusing on national unity and economic revival via job creation, agriculture, skills development, and local manufacturing.

For Nigerians assessing the 2027 election, this alliance signals a potential cross-regional coalition that could reshape political calculations. Consider how its emphasis on security, agriculture, education and job creation aligns with your priorities, and monitor whether the coalition delivers on its unity promises as campaigns intensify.
