“Even a corpse will defeat Tinubu in 2027” – Buba Galadima declares at ADC convention

Buba Galadima, an African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain, has declared that President Bola Tinubu would lose the 2027 presidential election regardless of the candidate fielded against him.

Galadima made the comment on Tuesday in Abuja at the ADC national convention 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 alleged that there were attempts to frustrate the event, including pressure on the venue’s owner.

“Yesterday around 1 a.m., we got a message that this venue that was acquired for this convention was actually cancelled because the owner was threatened by the powers that be, that if he allowed us to be here, they will revoke his certificate of occupancy.

“The person with whom I was sitting asked me for my opinion, and my opinion was simply that even if Abuja will burn to ashes today, we will hold this convention in this hall,” he said.

Galadima 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.
