Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee against Corruption (PACAC), Prof. Itse Sagay, has said that the daughter of a famous critic of President Muhammadu Buhari, Buba Galadima, would be ashamed of her father for embarrassing her.

Galadima, who is a spokesperson for Atiku Presidential Campaign Organisation, has been very vocal about his criticisms of Mr Buhari especially in the run-up to the elections which saw Buhari re-elected.

Galadima’s daughter, on the other hand, has been a vocal supporter of Buhari. She also joined the president’s campaign team during electioneering process.

In an interview with Vanguard, Sagay, in response to a statement by Galadima that his daughter was among the most qualified in the president’s team, said it shows that Buhari’s administration goes for quality and merit despite opposition from Galadima himself.

Sagay said: “We thank God because for me that implies that Buhari’s administration goes for quality and merit. Let us face it, President Buhari is a broad-minded man, a good human being because if he were to behave like the ordinary Nigerian, he will be so bitter, sarcastic and acidic and in fact so caustic in his language and attitude.

“However, Buhari is still accommodating the young lady despite his father. That means he is a righteous man. So if the lady is very good, that confirms that Buhari goes by merit. The lady would be very ashamed of his father for embarrassing her all over the country.”

The professor also said he was unhappy with talks about the ruling party muzzling the opposition with the military during elections.

“I am definitely not happy about the manner it was handled. Nigerians pretend a lot when they talk about militarisation. When they know deep in their hearts that we cannot do without the military. Without the military, you cannot hold elections that would be peaceful,” he said.
