NDC chief Buba Galadima accuses Tinubu of destroying opposition
NDC chieftain Buba Galadima accused President Bola Tinubu of actively working to destroy Nigeria's opposition parties, claiming the president is backed by the National Assembly and has dragged the judiciary into a broader plan to subvert democracy. Speaking on Arise Television's Morning Show on Tuesday, Galadima said that since Tinubu's inauguration two years ago, the APC government has focused on politicking rather than delivering democratic dividends to Nigerians. He warned that state police are being used to disrupt elections and kill democracy, and urged the judiciary to jail corrupt officials. Galadima insisted that democracy will survive regardless of APC's efforts, but warned that opposition parties face systematic obstruction ahead of the 2027 elections. His comments reflect rising tension between the ruling party and opposition forces, raising concerns about electoral fairness and the independence of state institutions. For Nigerians, the allegations highlight the need to monitor legislative and judicial actions that could affect political competition and civic freedoms. How will you assess these claims, and what steps will you take to safeguard your democratic rights as the next election approaches?
