Buba Galadima (born 1948) is a Nigerian politician who was National Secretary of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), a party formed in the run-up to the 2011 national elections as a leading platform for former military ruler and President of Nigeria General Muhammadu Buhari.
In June 2002, Galadima was interviewed on a proposal by President Olusegun Obasanjo to restructure local governments in the country.
[7] As chairman of the mobilization committee of the Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP) Galadima had planned to be involved in an anti-government protest which took place on 3 May in Abuja and Lagos.
[10] In November 2009, Galadima said that if the government failed to reform the State Security Service (SSS), the result could be "chaotic, anarchic and violence prone 2011 elections".
[12] Galadima voiced his concerns over attempts to scheme out northern Christians from holding one of the presiding positions of the National Assembly, namely speaker of the House of Representatives.
Yakubu Dogara, who represents Bogoro/ Tafawa Balewa federal constituency in Bauchi state, as the Speaker of the 8th Assembly.
[14] The Congress for Progressive Change filed an application to register with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on 26 March 2009, and received official approval and registration on 28 December 2009.
While he said the decision was up to the parties, not a question of electoral law, he felt the move would be undemocratic since the elected politicians would look only to their own interests.
[19] Following the presidential election in April 2011, Galadima said the vote was rigged and the CPC would not accept the results until a complete audit had been conducted.
[24][25] Due to his actions, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council demanded Galadima be arrested.
