He emphasized that the APC understands the gravity of the situation should they fail to secure the presidency in 2027 and highlighted the adverse impact the party's actions have had on Nigerians.\n\nAccording to Galadima, the APC's desperation is evident in their willingness to employ extreme measures to regain power. He warned that the actions taken in the past will come back to haunt the party should they lose the upcoming elections. Galadima insisted that the majority of Nigerians do not want President Bola Tinubu to return to the presidential seat.\n\nThe NDC chieftain suggested that supporting a Southerner for the 2027 presidency is a viable option to prevent the country from descending into division. He urged people to unite and support a candidate from the South, as opposed to allowing the North to divide Nigeria along religious and tribal lines.\n\nGaladima also revealed that supporting the Southeast in producing Nigeria's next president is a strategy that he cannot discuss publicly but considers a critical step towards uniting the country. He expressed his willingness to stand by this viewpoint and convince others that it is the right course of action.",
