The chairman of the Reformed All Progressive Congress (R-APC), Buba Galadima, has declared that he and other members of the breakaway faction of the ruling party are the authentic leaders, not Adams Oshiomhole.

Galadima, a former ally of Buhari, said the president and the party’s national leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, took the leadership of the party illegally.

Galadima spoke on Thursday, July 6, a day after he announced he and others are forming the Reformed All Progressives Congress (R-APC).

During the Sunrise Daily, a programme of the Channels Television, Galadima reportedly said: “The president cannot go against the law.”

“We are the mainstream APC.

“We are claiming that we are the authentic leaders of the party and not usurpers who have just come in and use their position and influence to get themselves announced as leaders.”
