Buba Galadima Slams ADC Over Justice Lifu’s Absence

Buba Galadima, a chieftain of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has criticised members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) over their reaction to a court judgment involving the party. In a recent interview on African Independent Television (AIT), Galadima expressed his displeasure with the ADC members, accusing them of lacking intelligence. According to the Daily Post Nigeria, Galadima’s comments were in response to the ADC’s celebration of a court ruling that granted an interim injunction, preventing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from recognising Justice Lifu as a member of the ADC.

‘There are no intelligent people in the ADC. They are celebrating an injunction. The injunction is temporary, and it is not a final decision. They should be celebrating if the court rules in their favour permanently,’ Galadima said.

The ADC, led by Yakubu Dogara, had sought the injunction to prevent INEC from recognising Justice Lifu as a member of the party. However, the court ruling has yet to be finalised, and Galadima believes that the ADC’s celebration of the interim injunction is premature.

Galadima’s criticism of the ADC comes as the political landscape in Nigeria continues to evolve, with several parties vying for power ahead of the 2027 general elections. The NDC, led by Buba Galadima, is one of the newer parties in the mix, and Galadima’s comments are likely to stir debate within the political sphere.
