Buba Galadima, a former ally of
President Muhammadu Buhari, has challenged him to swear with the Qur’an that he
did not rig the 2019 presidential election.
Galadima, who spoke in an
interview with The Sun, said Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the PDP,
won the election but it was allegedly rigged by the All Progressives Congress
(APC) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
He described the election as an
embarrassment while challenging the president and the APC leaders to swear with
the holy books to prove Buhari won.
“The election was a national
embarrassment. It was far from being free and fair. Not only that, it was clear
to everybody that INEC, the military, and the police all colluded to work for
APC,” Galadima said.
“The presidential candidate of
the Peoples Democratic Party Alhaji Atiku Abubakar won the presidential
election but INEC chose to declare President Muhammadu Buhari the winner. The
whole world knows that Atiku defeated Buhari hands down but the election was
heavily rigged in Buhari’s favour.
“I boldly challenge Buhari and
other APC leaders to swear with the Holy Quran, and the Bible if they were sure
that Buhari won that election. If they are sure that Buhari defeated Atiku,
Buhari, APC leaders should take up my challenge. I’m throwing this challenge
openly, I’m making it public, and I’m waiting for any of them who is bold and
sure of himself to take up this challenge.
“INEC was only independent in
name during the elections as it surrendered its mandate to the whims and
caprices of Buhari and APC. With the way it conducted the election, INEC will
enter the Guinness Book of Records as having organised the worst election in
Nigeria’s history.”
Galadima further said the conduct
of the electoral process is proof that Buhari is not fighting corruption.
He said rigging of elections
amounts to corruption, and “APC is a nest of corrupt elements”.
“What all these clearly show
again is that Buhari is not fighting corruption. Corruption is not only about
stealing money. There are other things that you do that amounts to corruption.
Rigging election is another form of corruption,” he said.
“All APC leaders including
Buhari, their hands are not clean over these elections. Then if you know that
somebody is corrupt and you protect such a person that means that you are also
corrupt.”
Asked if he was willing to work
with the president in the interest of the country, Galadima responded in the
negative.
“I can never work with Buhari. I
can never work with him or any of these APC people including, Oshiomhole. How
can I work with Buhari? Is Nigeria making progress under him? No. Nigeria is
going back to the stone age under Buhari,” he said.
“He doesn’t know anything about
governance. He has become part of Nigeria’s problem and the solution is to vote
him out of power with his party. These people are impostors.”
