One of the close allies of President Muhammadu Buhari, Alhaji Buba Galadima, has said the ruling party, APC has been raped aground by the PDP.
In a recent interview with Daily Trust, Galadima said the ruling party is only claiming to be in power but it is actually being controlled by the Peoples Democratic Party.
He said: “The APC has been raped aground, and it is only claiming to be in government because it is the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that is actually controlling power.”
Continuing, Galadima, who worked with President Buhari in the 2003, 2007, 2011 and 2015 general elections, said he’s certain the President won’t run on any other platform aside APC if he intends to go for a second term.
“Definitely, I know that General Muhammadu Buhari will not want to run on the platform of any party because he has already cast aspersion on party politics and politicians. So we would try to find out on what platform he would contest if he wants to be president in 2019. On what vehicle he would ride, but definitely not on a political party,” he said.
It was further reported that Galadima declared that Buhari’s lack of interest in party politics, especially in resolving the APC crisis, may lead to its disintegration.

I think the situation is the other way round. APC raped PDP to get into power by attracting key members of the PDP to defect and join the APC. If these are the people the Alhaji is referring to, they are bonafide members of the APC now. It is more like some APC members are raping APC. Perhaps PMB wants to try the Independent platform. That will show him how popular he really is. I can’t wait to see that happens.
