Buba Galadima, chairman of the
Reformed All Progressives Congress (R-APC), says he would not have been
bothered about President Muhammadu Buhari if he was raising cows in Daura, his
hometown in Katsina state.
Galadima, a former ally of the
president, said this in a chat with The Interview magazine.
He spoke of the role he played in
bringing Buhari and Bola Tinubu, a national leader of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), together in the buildup to the 2015 election.
Galadima said though it was
against the wish of Buhari, he succeeded with the alliance between the Congress
for Progressive Change (CPC) and the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN).
Buhari and Tinubu were the
leaders of CPC and ACN, two of the five legacy parties that formed the APC in
2014.
“Buhari was the one against the
alliance with Tinubu and I don’t want to say anything. Let Buhari deny what I
have said. I was for it and I organised it and wrote a memo that even produced
a candidate for the vice presidency, this same Osinbajo,” he said.
Galadima gave a hint that Buhari
may have, in fact, pencilled in another running mate candidate in the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) form that was to have been
submitted.
Using a slogan, ‘Anybody But
Buhari (ABB)’, Galadima said he was planning to write an open letter to Buhari
very soon, adding that the President was a “floored candidate” who will lose
his deposit if he contests re-election.
“If he was raising cattle in
Daura, I wouldn’t bother about him. I’m criticising him because he’s the
President of Nigeria and he’s not doing very well,” Galadima said.
He did not spare Adams
Oshiomhole, chairman of the APC, whom he described as a latter-day Buharist
bent on hijacking the ship.
