My greatest regret as Buhari leaves office May 29 – Buba Galadima

The New Patriotic Party, NNPP chieftain, Bula Galadima has shared his biggest regret in President Buhari's government weeks before he end his tenure on May 29.

According to him, Buhari left Nigeria worse than he met it, and that the country is more divided across religious, ethnic lines.

Speaking in an interview on Arise Television on Wednesday, May 29, Galadima said that currently, a person cannot win election based on morality or public service, but one monetary bases.

The NNPP chieftain, called out Buhari over his refusal to acknowledge some hardworking individuals that supported him to become president.

“President Muhammadu Buhari did not leave the country the way he met it. We could have clapped for him and even escorted him to Daura where ever he intends to leave after leaving office. The man has left Nigeria 100 years back, divided Nigeria across religious lines, ethnic lines, crashed bad economic policies that have left the dollar which he met at 157 naira per dollar and he is now leaving it at nearly 800.

Today you can’t travel to any part of Nigeria with your eyes closed. You have to spend the night praying that God delivers you. If that is the kind of Nigeria Femi Adesina would want, then I pray to God to visit him with what the common people suffer daily in Nigeria.

My only regret in this country is that Buhari has left Nigerian polity bedeviled by religious and monetization issues which was worse than rigging because you can no more win election on the bases on the quality of service, on the bases of your credibility, public service, on the bases of what you have done but only on the bases of money.

Of course, religious leaders both Muslims and Christians were a disappointment during this election because instead of preaching morality, they made themselves god and thought they can install leaders of their choice. They have utterly been disappointed and I wish this had been a lesson for the people of this country.”
Galadinma expressed his disappointment at the behaviour of Nigerians during the 2023 general elections. He noted that instead of the people to vote competent people that will remove them from poverty that sacrificed their future for one Indomie and N100.

To the masses themselves, they were a greater disappointment because instead of voting for those that will salvage them from their abject poverty, from their pitiable condition, they voted for those that will give them indomie, one indomie, one hundred naira, now they should wait to reap the harvest of their investments, this is where Nigeria find themselves today.”

A lot of leaders play God and it is a lesson to them. The incoming government knows that Buhari never supported them but it is God that appoint leaders, it is God that dethrones leaders. In his wilderness believed that loyalty should be the act of government and that people should worship him.

Those serial betrayals were kneeling down and worshipping him and he granted them access to power, are now those that are abusing him, those that are taking him to court, they have already started with Bola Tinubu because they want to ingratiate themselves, they cannot be out of power, any government in power, they must find a way of getting there.

I am advising Tinubu to be aware of the pitfalls of those that must be in the corridor of power, he should scrap and get rid of them.

To Buhari those of us that he jilted, I want to assure him that he will leave us hale and hearty, fat and robust and we will continue to do how we know best. I will advise him to move completely out of this country because the kind of messages or criticisms he will come through from those that he has assisted is enough to cause him a heart attack.

Those that are around Tinubu now, pretending to be good boys, pretending to be protecting his interest they are not powerful, they are nothing," he said.
