Buba Galadima
While speaking at the unveiling of a group called Enyimba
Progressives Association, EPA, in Abuja over the weekend, elder
statesman, Buba Galadima, said Nigerians must all join hands to send
President Muhammadu Buhari, back home in 2019 general election.
According to Vanguard,
Galadima said the president has grossly under-performed, asking the
people to give the candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku
Abubakar a chance to put the country on a growth pedestal once again,
adding that the greatest offence of President Buhari is his failure to
secure lives, property and bring food in the homes of Nigerians.
The president’s critic who regretted ever marketing Buhari before
the world and supporting him to become president in 2015, said he would
tender apology to the people through the world renowned media outfits.
Galadima, who refuted the insinuations that Buhari clan impacted on
his performance, asked Nigerians to join hands and vote Buhari out next
year, and enjoined them to try Atiku who has pledged to perform
better, saying that if he (Atiku) fails as well, he should be shown the
way out in 2023.
He said: “I stand before you to tell you if there is any body
that brought Buhari into politics, it is either me or us. Today, I will
stand here to tell you that we should all put our hands together,
strengthen ourselves and throw him out through the ballot box.
‘’I can tender public apology on BBC or CNN. Of course, if
there is any person that promoted him from January 2002 to date, I can
hardly be number two if I am not number one.
Buhari’s greatest offence, by Galadima
“Why must he go? The answer is simple. He has been accused of
so many crimes. Some of them are true, some of them may not even be
true. I can tell you that.
“But greatest fault he has is that in my religion, Islam, the
leader is everybody’s father. During the Kalim Umar reign as the leader
of Islam across the world, the man cannot sleep in the night.
“He would go around in the town, trying to find out who is
hungry. And God says if an animal sleeps with hunger during your reign,
you are held responsible, let alone human beings.
‘’The responsibility is entirely on his head and he doesn’t give a damn. For me, that is his greatest offence.
“Therefore, if there is no compassion, people are being killed,
maimed, communities are being wiped out, disasters are happening, he
never gave a damn for two and half years. He couldn’t even visit the
people to commiserate with them. What kind of a leader is that?
“So, the man is bad not because he is Hausa or Fulani.
Muhammadu Buhari is bad. So, he should go and rest. Why I am saying so
is that there are a lot of Hausa and Fulani people that are being
killed, may be sleeping with hunger. Hunger, poverty, killing know no
bounds. Asks Nigerians to try Atiku, throw him out if he
under-performs
“For now, my group has not taken a position as to who to
support. I supported Kwankwaso and I want to assure that of all the
candidates, forget about the primaries, he is the person that has got
tentacles across the country. But the issue is that Any Body But Buhari,
ABB. Let’s try Atiku.
If he doesn’t perform, let’s throw him out. Obasanjo doesn’t
like Atiku but he has said he is better than Buhari. So let’s make
progress.”
