British broadcaster and former parliamentarian George Galloway has launched a fresh broadside against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, declaring that his criticism of the Nigerian leader has nothing to do with Tinubu’s Yoruba ethnicity or Muslim faith.
Speaking during a September 2026 edition of his Mother of All Talk Shows (MOATS) programme, Galloway rejected suggestions that his opposition to Tinubu was motivated by ethnic or religious prejudice.
Galloway said:
“I’m against Tinubu because he’s a crook. I’m against him because he forged. I’m against him because INEC forged his election.”
He continued:
“Am I supposed to turn a blind eye to all these allegations because he’s a Muslim, or because he’s a Yoruba man?”
Galloway also insisted that his contempt for Tinubu had “zero” connection to the President’s religion or ethnic identity.
The British commentator challenged those attempting to frame his criticism around Tinubu’s Yoruba or Muslim identity, asking what he was expected to do if he believed serious allegations had been raised against Nigeria’s president.
“You want me to accept that [he leads] the greatest African country? Never,” Galloway declared.
The comments have triggered fresh reactions across Nigeria’s political space, with supporters and critics of the Tinubu administration expected to debate the remarks intensely as the country moves toward the 2027 presidential election.
NOTE: Galloway’s assertions about alleged forgery and the 2023 election are presented as his allegations/opinions, not as established facts.
