Buba Galadima, leader of Reformed All Progressives Congress (R-APC) on Monday said that he will be willing to die along with members of his group if that is what it will take to wrestle power from President Buhari’s ruling All Progressive Congress in the 2019 general election.
Galadima made the remark during the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between his group and 34 political parties.
The leader of the breakaway reformed APC group also said if he were President Muhammadu Buhari, he will not seek re-election as he will surely the forthcoming election.
Galadima said, “Since we made declaration to form R-APC, we have received series of support and solidarity from all over the world. I am confident that we will put our acts together.”
“If we are fair to ourselves and do things transparently in bringing out one man or woman, we’ll be victorious. This is not a tea party and the man we are facing is military general but we know him and you know that I know him.
“If I were his advisers, I’ll advise him not to attempt to contest. If what I know and what I have access to, I can assure you that General Buhari will not only he will lose the election but also his deposits. From the day we announced the reformed APC a lot of people were under pressure to back out.
“We are ready to take on this fight despite any deprivation and intimidation because this country belongs to all of us. We must together fight to put it aright.
“They can use the big stick. You know a desperate person can do anything, he can kill, If he has power he can arrest and detain. Whichever one they choose to do we are prepared to lay down our lives for the sake of our people.”
The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), is an SPV being put together by the opposition PDP and other parties to take power from the ruling APC.
