You May Have Power, Not The People!” – Galadima’s Daughter Knocks Tinubu Over Defections

“You May Have Power, Not The People!” – Galadima’s Daughter Knocks Tinubu Over Defections

Zainab Buba Galadima, daughter of NNPP chieftain Buba Galadima, has stirred fresh political debate after claiming that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu may have the backing of governors but lacks support from the masses.

Speaking during an appearance on a podcast, she argued that political endorsements from state governors do not necessarily reflect the true feelings of ordinary Nigerians.

According to her, there is a growing disconnect between the government and citizens, warning that those close to the President may be misrepresenting the real situation on ground.

Galadima also criticised what she described as surface-level solutions to deep national problems, noting that issues such as insecurity, education, and poverty require more than temporary relief measures.

“He might have all the governors, but he doesn’t have the masses,” she said, emphasizing the need for leaders to better understand the realities faced by Nigerians.

Her remarks come amid ongoing political realignments and defections across party lines, as conversations around public support and governance intensify ahead of the 2027 elections.

The statement has since sparked reactions online, with many Nigerians weighing in on the gap between political power and grassroots acceptance.
