A Chieftain of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Buba Galadima, has said that Nigerians must come together and vote out president Bola Tinubu.

This was as he alleged that Tinubu is making things difficult for other political parties to produce candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections.

He spoke during the inauguration of the NDC National Reconciliation Committee set up to resolve post-primary election disputes ahead of the 2027 general elections.

He further stated that the Electoral Act was designed and perfected by President Tinubu even before it was taken to the National Assembly.

“Tinubu is only protecting himself and the APC and making it difficult for other parties to produce candidates.

“The president is not thinking of a contest with anybody, but we won’t allow it. Even if it’s an empty coffin, all Nigerians must come together and throw him out for the sake of this country,” he said.

A former Chairman of the Caretaker Committee in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State, Chijioke Ihunwo, has promised to back the candidates of the Rainbow Coalition and President Bola Tinubu’s reelection.

Ihunwo, who is a staunch ally of Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State, said his decision followed the governor’s call for reconciliation and unity.

Featuring on TVC’s Beyond the Headlines, Ihunwo said he was following Fubara’s instructions to back the coalition.

The Rainbow Coalition is a political group in Rivers State headed by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.

However, he said, “Our governor has said there is peace in Rivers State and that we need to move forward.” If you really back him, you need to stand with him in the Rainbow Coalition. That is what we are doing to bring peace back to our state.

“I am following the governor because he is my principal. No matter what he tells me to do, I will follow his instructions. We are going to work together to make sure every member of the Rainbow Coalition gets elected, including President.”

Ihunwo said the governor has told his supporters to back Tinubu and all the candidates from the coalition.

He said he would return to Obio/Akpor to mobilise support for the coalition ahead of the 2027 elections.
