Buba Galadima, a former ally of
President Muhammadu Buhari, has claimed that President Muhammadu and his party,
the All Progressives Congress (APC), have paid some people to convince Atiku
Abubakar, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the February 23
elections, not to challenge the result in court.
Galadima stated this when he
featured on Sunrise Daily, a programme on Channels Television on Wednesday.
“Records available to us show
that our candidates had won this election and that is why we have gone to
court.
“APC have insisted, demonstrated
and sponsored some highly placed Nigerians, paid them handsomely to appeal to
Atiku not to go to court.
“What is their business? Didn’t
their candidate in 2003, 2007 and 2011 go to court to challenge results? Did he
ever congratulate those that were declared to have won those elections?” he
queried.
Atiku has
claimed that he defeated President Buhari by about 1.6million votes.
This was contained in the
petition he filed before the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal in Abuja
on Monday, to challenge Buhari’s victory.
