Festus Keyamo, spokesman of
President Muhammadu Buhari re-election campaign, has tackled Buba Galadima,
Buhari’s ally turned his critic, over his claim that Buhari is vengeful.
Speaking when the duo appeared on
a Channels TV programme on Sunday, Keyamo said Galadima’s daughter will not
remain Buhari’s aide if the president was vengeful.
Zainab, a daughter of Galadima, works
as special assistant to Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.
“Alhaji Galadima, if President
Buhari is so vengeful and so divisive, what is your daughter still doing in the
Villa?” he asked.
“Your daughter works with the
President in the Villa, what is she still doing there today?”
Keyamo said Buhari is an unusual
leader who has “managed to navigate his way through the middlemen” and “has
reached the people directly in this country.”
While speaking earlier, Galadima
accused Buhari of fighting the opposition in the name of an anti-graft while
ignoring corruption among his cronies.
“This government we have today is
a government of exclusion, nepotism, bedeviled by corruption, and has no single
achievement in Nigeria,” he said.
“In Kano, you have seen the
president raising the hand of a corrupt individual, a corrupt person that the
whole nation has seen taking bribes, they are talking of corruption, that man
belongs to them.”
He added that Atiku Abubakar, PDP
presidential candidate, will defeat Buhari “60 to 40 on the minimum.”
“The only place it would be 50-50
is Katsina. In the south-west, I want to say with certainty, the Yoruba people
respect their leaders, they will not vote from sentiments,” he said.
He also alleged that the Nigerien
governors who joined the APC campaign rally in Kano state “are already telling
us that they will bring aliens to vote for them.”
