Galadima alleged that Buhari instigated the formation of a subcommittee to revise the All Progressives Congress (APC) constitution to ensure he would not be included in the party's Board of Trustees.
In a recent interview, Galadima asserted that Tinubu recognized Buhari's intentions and chose not to act on the directive aimed at altering the constitution.
The NNPP leader emphasized that it was evident Buhari did not wish for Tinubu to succeed him. He further claimed that Tinubu was aware of Buhari's maneuvers but opted to remain silent out of statesmanship.
He stated, “Let me share what Tinubu did regarding my situation. According to the APC constitution, the secretaries of the parties, including CPC and ACN, should be members of the Board of Trustees and the National Working Committee (NWC) to preserve institutional memory.
“When Buhari encountered me, he expressed his desire to keep me away from any involvement. Consequently, he initiated the formation of a subcommittee to revise the constitution, appointing President Bola Tinubu as its chairman.
“Tinubu discerned Buhari's ulterior motives. As of now, the committee has yet to convene, submit any findings, or amend the constitution. This reluctance to remove me was part of why Buhari never wanted Tinubu to become president.
“For the last 12 years, the APC Board of Trustees has not convened, and the NWC met only two or three times during Buhari's tenure. They were determined to exclude me, which is why I departed.
When further questioned about Buhari's reluctance for Tinubu to succeed him, he remarked, “Is there anyone unaware of this? Tinubu himself is cognizant of it. However, out of his magnanimity as a statesman, he refrains from expressing his true feelings.”
