Buhari plans to rig the 2019 election because he has failed –Buba Galadima
Veteran politician and chairman of the Reformed All Progressives Congress (R-APC), Buba Galadima, again alleges that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration is allegedly planning to rig the 2019 elections because most Nigerians have rejected the President and his ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). In this Interview with INNOCENT ODOH, OWEDE AGBAJILEKE and JAMES KWEN, Galadima stresses that Buhari has no competence and no idea on how to run a diverse country like Nigeria adding that Buhari’s touted integrity has collapsed because of alleged massive corruption in his government coupled with his poor handling of the economy. Excerpts:
Talking about the 2019 general elections, you have appeared severally talking about the chances of the opposition, especially about the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party(PDP) Atiku Abubakar to take over power from the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari. What makes you think that this is a possibility?
It is absolute possibility provided there is a free, fair, transparent and level playing ground for the elections in 2019. But I must add quickly that this government has no intention whatsoever of conducting a free and fair election and I can give reasons. One, they know is of fact that they have not put anything on the table for the people of Nigeria. Two, Nigeria is today worse than when they found it in 2015. Three, nobody, nobody, nobody including those that had worked with General Buhari for 15 years before his becoming President would say they are satisfied with his performance in the containment of security, job provision, inclusiveness of the people of Nigeria. He (Buhari) performed poorly in all facets of human endeavours.
Therefore, he has nothing to show anywhere, except in one zone of the country where it could be said that he has done something or put something on the table for the people of that zone. So, I believe t

Buba Galadima (born 1948) is a Nigerian politician who was National Secretary of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), a party formed in the run-up to the 2011 national elections as a leading platform for former military ruler and President of Nigeria General Muhammadu Buhari. He was the Spokesperson of the People's Democratic Party.
Background
Buba Galadima an engineer by profession, is a graduate of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. He hails from Gashua, Yobe State. He participated in the 1994/95 Constitutional Conference. Galadima was Director General of the Nigeria Maritime Authority (NMA) from 1996 to 1998.
Political career
During the Nigerian Fourth Republic, established in May 1999, Galadima became the chieftain of the leading opposition party, the All Nigeria People's Party (ANPP). In June 2002, Galadima was interviewed on a proposal by President Olusegun Obasanjo to restructure local governments in the country. He expressed his party's opposition to the move. He said that Obasanjo, "the usurper president of this country", was trying to sneak in the changes surreptitiously, giving state governors the right to appoint unelected officials to run the local governments, but also introducing Consultative Assemblies for regions and thus undermining the powers of the states.
On 29 April 2004, Galadima was arrested in Abuja by officers from the State Security Services (SSS). Amnesty International expressed concern that he was at risk of torture or ill-treatment. As chairman of the mobilization committee of the Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP) Galadima had planned to be involved in an anti-government protest which took place on 3 May in Abuja and Lagos. He was released without charge
