Spokesman for the Atiku Abubakar Campaign Organisation, Buba Galadima, is of the view that the result of the presidential election that produced President Muhammadu Buhari as the winner was not only false but criminal.
Galadima made this assertion on Tuesday while speaking on Channels Television’s platform, Politics Today.
The radical politician was speaking in support of the claims by his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), that their votes exceeded that of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Said Galadima “INEC said what they wanted to say and in a democratic setting, we also have the right to disagree with INEC and produce evidence as to what has happened and it is part of our secret that when we reach the courtroom, we will show the world, not only Nigerians, that the elections were fraudulent and the announcement by INEC that Muhammadu Buhari won the presidential election is not only false but criminal.
“With the records available to us and from what we have gathered from the field and the other sources, our candidate Atiku Abubakar was the one that overwhelmingly won the confidence and the votes of Nigerians to become the President of Nigeria and that will not be in dispute when we reach the courtroom.”
Recall that in a counter-petition to the earlier claims, the APC Campaign Council had asked the Inspector-General of Police and the Director-General of the Department of State Services to use their “good offices to investigate the hacking of and/or illegal tampering with the INEC server by the PDP”.
Galadima, however, claims it was a proof that they were jittery and afraid of their evil action.
According to him, “They shouldn’t be jittery because they know that they didn’t perform. They know that they did not win the elections so they are resorting to blackmail and calling names. We will meet them in court with evidence that will silence them”.
