Buba Galadima, former ally of President Muhammadu Buhari has said the Nigerian leader has become one of the problems the country has.
Mr
Galadima, a close friend of the president during their days in the
opposition parted ways with Mr Buhari after their political party was
factionalised.
Buhari had sought the position he is now occupying
since 2003 but failed to actualize his ambition until his then party,
Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) and other parties came together
and birthed the now ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) in 2013.
When
he emerged the presidential candidate of the opposition in 2014, many
saw Buhari as the solution to the problems facing the country and voted
massively for him.
But while forming a faction of the party known
as Reformed-APC last year, Galadima alleged that the president and the
APC has deviated from core objectives of the masses. He condemned the
emergence of Adams Oshiomhole as the national chairman of the party,
saying the party institutionalised the same vices the previous
administrations under the now opposing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
was punished for during the 2015 election.
As the 2019 election
drew near, the faction of the ruling party pitched its tent with the
opposition but the PDP failed to reclaim power by losing to the
president who sought a second term in office.
Describing the
leaders of the APC as imposters, Galadima said he will never work with
the president again because the country has not made any progress under
his administration.
He said Buhari is one of the problem the country has because he knows nothing about governance.
“I
can never work with Buhari. I can never work with him or any of these
APC people including Oshiomhole,” he said in an interview with The Sun
Newspaper.
“How can I work with Buhari? Is Nigeria making
progress under him? No. Nigeria is going back to the stone age under
Buhari. He doesn’t know anything about governance. He has become part of
Nigeria’s problem and the solution is to vote him out of power with his
party. These people are impostors,” Galadima was quoted to have said.
He
said the 2019 election that produced Buhari as the winner was
militarised, alleging that Buhari’s war on corruption is a propaganda
and has been one sided mainly targeted at opposition politicians.
“Sincerely
speaking Buhari is not fighting corruption. Many Ministers in Buhari’s
cabinet have mansions all over Abuja and he has been shielding them.
“Do
these people think Nigerians are fools? Look at what Oshiomhole himself
publicly said sometime ago that any looter or corrupt element that
joins APC will be automatically protected in the party, and you are
saying that these people are fighting corruption. The government’s so
called anti-corruption war is a deceit. It is a propaganda to deceive
Nigerians,” he added.
