EXCLUSIVE: Atiku Ran With Ben Obi, PO, & Okowa As VP Candidates. Now, He Is Going To Run With Amaechi -Galadima

Buba Galadima, a prominent member of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), discussed the changing political climate in the run-up to the 2027 general election in an interview that aired on Arise TV on July 15, 2026. Galadima focused on the discussion surrounding the nominations of prominent opposition figures for president and vice president. Galadima remarked that there was a lack of consistency in the way certain politicians and their followers perceived candidates from the Southeast as a response to accusations levelled at political alliances incorporating the region.

Competence and national interest, not ethnicity, should be the deciding factors in political decisions, he argued. Galadima said during the interview that Atiku was a vice presidential candidate alongside Ben Obi, Peter Obi, and Okowa. He will now accompany Amaechi on his run. He made the comment while wondering why some political figures are now condemning coalitions including lawmakers from the South, even though they have worked together in the past.Get The Full Story Here.
