Buba Galadima
The acclaimed National Chairman of the Reformed All Progressives Congress (R-APC), Buba Galadima, has stated that the crisis in the ruling party did not begin with the election of the leadership of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Speaking on AIT, he also slammed the National Chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole, for saying he is not bothered with the emergence of the R-APC.
Galadima 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.”
