A chieftain of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Buba Galadima has said that if he were to
be the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the ruling party would
have been deregistered.
He said the party’s handlers had
refused to abide by the rules they set.
Galadima made this comment while
speaking with the Hausa Service of the BBC, yesterday,
According to Galadima, if he were
INEC, he would have seized APC’s certificate of registration because three
years after its establishment, the party could not hold a single Board of
Trustees (BoT) meeting, and that it had also failed to deliver on any of its
promises.
He said, “APC does not deserve to
be a political party; its constitution clearly states that the BoT, the
National Executive Committee (NEC) and the National Working Committee must meet
once every three months.
“Now, since the registration of
the party, was there any time that the BoT met? The party never referred to its
founding fathers to gauge their mood and to know their feelings on whether it
is on the right track or not.”
“I’m one of the nine people who
signed the MoU for the establishment of APC based on certain agreements and
ground rules. Sadly, none of these promises have been met and Nigerians cannot
endure uncertainty anymore,” Galadima said.
However, he expressed hope that
the party would reinvent itself not necessarily around President Muhammadu
Buhari.
“I detest a situation whereby
some people would hang the survival of APC on one individual; the party belongs
to all of us, Nigerians. Politics and political power are transient and we must
look ahead of time,” Galadima said.
