You’re a failed and rejected politician – Ganduje hits back at Buba Galadima

By Jude Opara, Abuja

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdulahi Ganduje has reacted to comments credited to a former member of the party, Engr. Buba Galadima describing him as having no electoral value.

In a statement on Monday, Chief Oliver Okpala, the Senior Special Assistant on Public Enlightenment to Ganduje rather described Galadima as a failed, rejected and frustrated politician without any political base in Nigeria.

Okpala further stated that Galadima has been known as a politician with acute character deficit and treachery, hence his inability to stick with one political affiliation over time.

“Alhaji Buba Galadima is a failed, rejected and frustrated politician without any base in Nigeria. His past political record of mercantilism, political duplicity and incompetence clearly shows he has no space of existence in the current political landscape in the country.

“His statement clearly portrays him as a mischievous personality, politically. We know Galadima’s garrulous and weightless antecedents and we are not surprised by this his baseless claims.

“He was a well known member of the Buhari Organization but always preferred to take skewed positions, which made all attempts of the organization to win election futile. Is that the kind of person who would determine who has electoral value”?

According to him, it was laughable that Galadima can say that a man like Ganduje who has been a two time governor of a very powerful state like Kano and presently, Chairman of the largest political party in Africa, the APC lacks electoral value.

“Ganduje is well known, tested and trusted, a result orientated technocrat and politician of high repute, who successful led Kano for two uninterrupted terms.

“He is a man with infallible proof of performance across Kano and beyond. His developmental projects are still littered across Kano state, a testament of his unbroken connection with the people.

“Ganduje is a grassroots politician with results to show. Where are Galadima’s results? He is a barren, outdated politician who has outlived his usefulness.

“Galadima should know that the APC ship under the leadership of Dr. Ganduje is sailing smoothly and the party has continued to wax stronger under him.

“The same cannot be said of Buba Galadima’s NNPP which has continued to suffer serious lacerations due to an intractable and untreatable fictionalization. Their attempt to hijack the party of Dr. Boniface Aniebonam has continued to assault them like an ant infested faggot.

“Galadima has been known to be a man of acute character deficit and that was why his long time benefactor, General Muhammadu Buhari sacked him”.

The statement further described Ganduje as a strong politician with a huge base, adding that he will not be distracted by the likes of Galadima who has always destroyed many political projects he has been part of.
