The petitioners at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT), the Peoples Democratic Party and her presidential candidate in the last presidential election, Atiku Abubakar have called Buba Galadima as a witness at the hearing their petition.
Galadima, a critic of President Muhammadu Buhari and one of the spokesmen of the PDP presidential campaign team will testify before the tribunal.
The petitioners are seeking the declaration of Atiku Abubakar as the rightful winner of the February 23 presidential election.
Galadima said he fell out with Buhari because of alleged injustice in his administration, lack of inclusiveness and failure of the administration to secure Nigeria.
“You fell out with the 2nd respondent (Buhari) because he did not make you a minister in 2015,” Olanipekun asked.
Responding, Galadima said, “No. You should know that I fought all the previous governments since 1999 because of injustice.
“We made good promises to Nigerians, including justice, inclusiveness, and to secure the country, which he has failed to do.
“It has always being part of my characteristics to fight injustice.”
He confirmed that he had supported Buhari in 2003, 2007, 2011 and 2015 election cycles until the 2019 election.
While being cross-examined by the All Progressives Congress’ lawyer, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), the witness said he was aware that there no registered party called the Reformed APC, but maintained that he was still the chairman of the group.
He, however, said he remained a member of the APC since had “not been sacked”.
Galadima, a spokesperson for the Atiku Campaign Organisation, “I’m still a member of APC. I have not been sacked. We are in court. I don’t want to be subjudice.
“I’m not a member of PDP, but we have a memorandum of understanding with the PDP to produce God-fearing, good and educated leader.”
