The National Chairman of the
Reformed All Progressives Congress, R-APC, Buba Galadima, has revealed the real
cause of the crisis rocking the All Progressives Congress, APC.
He said the problem did not start
with the election of the National Assembly leaders, when Dr. Bukola Saraki
became the Senate President.
Speaking on AIT programme,
Galadima boasted that he now had the power to ask the National Assembly to
impeach anybody and that it would be done immediately.
He also lambasted the National
Chairman of the APC for saying he does not lose sleep over his departure from
the party.
He said the crisis in “APC did
not start from the election tussle of the National Assembly, because for me
that was democracy in action and once legislators are appointed, they put aside
their political differences and work as one unit to produce laws for the good
governance of the country and also as an arm of government to provide checks
and balances to the excess of the government from whatever party the president
comes from.
“The real problem of the APC
started because those of us who are founding members of this party, those who
made life sacrifice, those of us Nigerians with impeccable patriotism that came
together because of the slide then and decided to submerge and subsume our
interest to form the APC, I should boldly say that I was one of the nine
signatories that formed the APC and nobody can delete that history. We never
see the faces of all these opportunists I am talking about. They never appended
their signatures then yet they are reaping from where they did not sow.
“Because they have no history of why the APC was formed, what we suffered and
what we did to protect entrenched interest, they started doing things that were
not envisaged by the founding fathers of the APC.
“The crisis has been on but it
took different dimensions when the tenure of the immediate national officers
was expiring. Different interests started resurfacing and through to it, all
the ideals for which we formed the APC were thrown to the dustbin.
“Those of us who are patriotic,
who have made sacrifices to bring about the formation of this party cannot sit
idly and watch them destroy our sweat.”
He argued that the current crisis
is the worst the party has experienced . He said “this is the beginning of what
you call crisis. I should say that I am glad that Nigerians of all walks of
life have shown solidarity with us.
“And for those who could not lose
sleep, I wonder why they went cap in hand, kneeling down before the members of
National Assembly.
