The National Chairman of the
Reformed All Progressives Congress, R-APC and the old ally of Muhammadu Buhari,
Buba Galadima, has explained how his face-off with the President started.
Galadima had on Friday led the
splinter group from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
Galadima who appeared on African
Independent Television, explained things he had gone through in the hands of
Buhari and yet he (Mr. President) does not recognise him.
Speaking on his problem with
President Buhari, he explained, “I don’t have any problem with Mr. President
but I assisted him since 2002.
“I have made more contributions
than even himself in becoming the President of Nigeria. Maybe, I should tell
the world that because of him, I have suffered intimidation, arrests,
questioning about 38 times.
“Not only that, I was detained in
an underground prison, chained hands and legs and tried for treason because of
him. All these people around now were the people fighting us then.
“Some of these people were
receiving money from the government of the time during elections in conducting
fake research and using their positions as members of the trade union to say
that the election was conducted fairly but today they are Buhari people. I am
shocked.
“There is nothing happening
except that I just saw him during a world press conference, an elder statesman
and former president said that he does not need my vote, my supporters, my
families and those that interact with me.
“He never mentioned any reason
and I dare say that I have more integrity and more honest than any person in
this country.”
He added, “The position I have
taken has nothing to do with his impression about me but because the party is
getting to a slide and because I made sacrifices to bring the formation of this
party. The world knows that I can’t sit idly and see that happen.
“I don’t need to access him
because he is the President of Nigeria and I cannot go and stand by the side of
the Aso Villa to shout that I want to see Mr President. If he needs to see me,
he can direct the SSS to pick me up to the Villa.
“He was quoted to have said that
nobody matters and he does not need to see anybody when the members of the nPDP
requested to dialogue with him because it is a party matter. If it is a party
matter why did he meet the National Assembly?
“The nPDP which was the subject matter
then complained of marginalisation, so also my CPC. We brought in 12.5 million
votes into this merger yet we get three cabinet ministers.”
