, defunct Congress for Progressive Change . That party, in the run-up to the 2015 general election, went into alliance with other parties which formed what is now known as All Progressives Congress . In this interview with, Galadima talks on why he is proud to be referred to as ‘Abacha boy’, among other issues. ExcerptsDonations towards Covid-19 appears to be coming from all angles, including from abroad, how do you think they can be properly put to use.
They were accusing the PDP as rogues then, with what they are doing now, they no longer call PDP rogues. Tell me the last time the APC government calls PDP rogues? From top to bottom, when last did they accuse PDP of being rogues because all the rogues in PDP have migrated into their fold. They only believe in today and that is why they do things with impunity without minding what will happen tomorrow. They forgot that they are ordinary human beings, created by God, being opportuned to act as leaders, not rulers.You were reported to have called the late Abba Kyari wicked and heartless shortly after he was pronounced dead…
That was why I issued a retraction that in my culture and religion, it is abomination to speak ill of the dead. I never had any personal grudge or jealousy with the late Abba Kyari. I have a completely different idea about what you called Abacha loot. I know as a fact that at that time, Abacha with knowledge of key members of his government, who knew about this money being stacked out, he was rightly adviced by some of his colleague presidents around the worldSaddam Hussein was one of them. Muammar Gaddafi was one of them.
Besides, whatever they want to use the money for, they have no power, under the Nigerian Constitution, to just spend the money without proper appropriation by the National Assembly. Yes of course. It is based on ignorance. But the truth of the matter is that we are running a constitutional government called democracy.
If they say Abacha was a monster, my answer is, at least he held the country together and everybody knew you could not trample on our laws without being dealt with.The two weeks relaxation by the federal government regarding the coronavirus lockdown had been criticized because the action could further endanger the lives of the citizens.
