Buba Galadima, a former ally of
President Muhammadu Buhari, says there would have been jubilation across the
country if the supreme court upturned Buhari’s victory in the election.
The apex court had dismissed an
appeal filed by Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) and Buhari’s main challenger in the election.
Atiku had filed a petition
against Buhari at the tribunal where he lost. But not giving up, he headed to
the supreme court.
Speaking on Channels Television’s
Politics Today on Wednesday, Galadima faulted the verdict of the court, saying
the PDP is interested in knowing how the apex court arrived at its decision.
“We are waiting to hear the final
analysis of how they arrived at that decision. And we as Nigerians have a cover
under the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria whether it supports
our view,” he said.
“If this judgment today had been
that Buhari was removed from office, I’m sure that by now, there would have
been fireworks all over this country.
“People would have been
jubilating, pouring water on the streets and celebrating. But have you seen any
individual who has demonstrated that he is happy with this judgment.”
Atiku has since rejected the
verdict of the apex court, alleging that the judiciary has been sabotaged.
But Buhari asked his opponent to
move on.
