Buba Galadima, a spokesperson for
the Atiku Campaign Organisation, says he is still a member of the All
Progressives Congress (APC).
He made this statement while
speaking at the presidential tribunal sitting in Abuja.
The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) had, on Monday, presented Buba Galadima, as its witness.
During cross-examination, Wole
Olanipekun, the APC’s counsel, asked Galadima why he was no longer on good
terms with the president.
In response, he said he supported
Buhari’s presidential ambition in 2003, 2007, 2011 and 2015 because he believed
Buhari as qualified to lead the country.
He said bad governance has made
him change his mind about Buhari’s competence.
“I’m still a member of APC. I
have not been sacked. We are in court. I don’t want to be subjudice,” he said,
adding he is the chairman of the Reformed APC, even though it is not a
registered party.
“I’m not a member of PDP, but we
have a memorandum of understanding with the PDP to produce God-fearing, good
and educated leader.”
PDP and its presidential
candidate, Atiku Abubakar, are challenging the February 23 election in which
Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was declared winner.
Galadima was formerly an ally in
the Buhari camp and was one of the nine signatories that signed the merger
agreement to form the All Progressives Congress.
He was called to the witness
stand at the proceedings, after Livy Uzoukwu, PDP’s lawyers, tendered some
result sheets from four local government areas of Kano state.
Adams Oshiomole, the APC
chairman, also attended the sitting for the first time since the sitting began
on June 10.
Before now, Uche Secondus, the
PDP chairman and Peter Obi, the party’s vice-presidential candidate, had
attended proceedings at different times.
Atiku had tendered 26,175
exhibits against the election.
In a statement through Paul Ibe,
his spokesman, Atiku had said the exhibits include result sheets from polling
units, wards and local governments in eight states namely Katsina, Kebbi,
Borno, Jigawa, Gombe, Bauchi, Kaduna and partly Kano.
He claims that the results show
that he won the election.
