LGs Were Paid About N20million To ‘Purchase’ People For Buhari’s Rallies, Says Galadima

Mr Buba Galadima says the mammoth crowd seen at venues of recent
APC rallies are charades, he claims that the people were paid to
attend the presidential campaigns of the ruling party.

Galadima made this assertion while appearing as a guest on
Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.

The spokesman of the PDP presidential campaign alleged that at
“Every campaign that Buhari goes to in an APC-controlled state,
local governments are empowered with twenty to forty-five million
naira to purchase people and bring them to these rallies, and
suddenly Buhari starts addressing the crowd and they all disappear
because they must fulfil the contract for which they were brought
in “.

The Elder Statesman claimed that in Kaduna, Atiku gathered twice
the number that Buhari gathered, adding that the same feat was
experienced in Kano.

“One Local Government rally by Kwankwaso is more than the global
rally that was organised for Buhari after spending nearly one
billion naira” Galadima said.

He also said that the present government is a government of
exclusion, adding that it is a government operating on the theories
of nepotism and bedevilled by corruption.

Galadima said, “It is shameful that somebody who rides on the
issue of corruption will raise the hand of a thief, certified
crook, and say this is our candidate”.

“In Kano, you have seen the President raising the hand of a
corrupt individual, a corrupt person that the whole nation has seen
taking bribes, they are talking of corruption, that man belongs to
them.

“They brought people from Niger, my good friend the Sultanate of
Damagaram and two Governors from the Niger Republic, are already
telling us that they will bring aliens to vote for them,” Galadima
alleged.

Galadima also reacted to the recent endorsement of Atiku
Abubakar by leaders of the Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo, Northern Elders
Forum, Pan-Niger Delta forum, the Middle Belt Forum, and a faction
of Afenifere.

He said those who endorsed Atiku are respected Elder Statesmen,
adding that it was a clear show of unity by tribes and regions that
previously do not see eye-to-eye.

“I commend these Elders for coming out boldly to tell the world
that in Atiku they have seen a candidate that will unite Nigeria,”
Galadima said.
