Alhaji Buba Galadima, a former political ally of President Muhammadu Buhari, on Wednesday said the All Progressives Congress and Buhari are pleading with the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alh Atiku Abubakar not to challenge the 2019 elections result in court.

The PDP campaign spokesperson asked if President Buhari did not go to court in the three previous elections where he lost and if he congratulated the winners in those polls.

Galadima stated this while featuring on Sunrise Daily programme on Channels TV.

He said, “Records available to us show that our candidates had won this election and that is why we have gone to court.

“APC have insisted, demonstrated and sponsored some highly placed Nigerians, paid them handsomely to appeal to Atiku not to go to court.

“What is their business? Didn’t their candidate in 2003, 2007 and 2011 go to court to challenge results? Did he ever congratulate those that were declared to have won those elections?” he queried.

This was contained in the petition he filed before the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal in Abuja on Monday, to challenge Buhari’s victory.
