Now I know you can\u2019t cure old age, you can only manage it,\u201d he wrote on his X (Twitter) page.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Galadima had criticised members of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, over their reported reaction to Lifu\u2019s health.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an interview on African Independent Television, AIT, on Wednesday, Galadima mentioned Melaye while referring to information that the ADC had obtained a certified true copy of the judgment delivered against the party.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Galadima, a chieftain of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, said: \u201cYou know there was a judgment against ADC, isn\u2019t it? Yes. And I\u2019ve just heard you read something that Dino Melaye said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey\u2019ve got a true certified copy of the judgment, and I know some ADC people are jumping up and down that the judge (Peter Lifu) who gave a ruling against them has fallen ill and is supposed to be taken to hospital in Europe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI just found out that maybe there aren\u2019t intelligent people in the ADC. They didn\u2019t know that if that is true, it is deliberate to deny them appeal. Because if the judge goes to London or Europe or anywhere outside the country, the records of proceedings from his judgment cannot be signed by any judge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo no appeal could be had until he\u2019s back. They didn\u2019t know that they are playing on their intelligence, and that\u2019s why Nigerian politicians are lazy. They don\u2019t think,\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vanguardngr.com\/\">Vanguard News<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/2026\/11\/its-unfortunate-melaye-reacts-to-galadimas-claim-on-justice-lifus-illness\/\">\u2018It\u2019s unfortunate\u2019 \u2013 Melaye reacts to Galadima\u2019s claim on Justice Lifu\u2019s illness<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/\">Vanguard News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Source: <\/p>\n<div class=\"nSourse\">Vanguard News<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dino Melaye has described as unfortunate elder statesman Buba Galadima\u2019s comments linking him to discussions surrounding the health of Federal High Court judge, Justice Peter Lifu.
