Buhari Awarded People With Questionable Characters – Buba Galadima

An ex-ally of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari, Buba Galadima has come out to fault the national honours recently given out to some persons by the PMB.

He recently alleged that out of the 470 honourees, no fewer than 440 among them should be in prisons across the country, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, some of the awardees have doubtful characters, and it is funny because Buhari himself has accused ex presidents of giving the wrong people national awards in the past.

He added that national awards should be given to people who have retired with unblemished careers and have not been followed by either ICPC.

His words, “When you say Buba Galadinma, did you use engineer, Alhaji or whatsoever? I have never taken a chieftaincy title and even the Galadima, if I have my way and if not that it is on my school certificates from primary to university level, I could have dropped the word (Galadima) because that is a traditional title and I don’t need it.”

“Let me tell you, of the 447 people that were given these national awards, I think 440 of them need to be in prisons rather than parading themselves as people who deserved an honour. Of what purpose is the honour? What is an honour for some of these people? It is a reward for the boys and you know General Muhammadu Buhari himself has severally accused Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, late president Musa Yar’Ádua and Goodluck Jonathan of giving awards, medals and national honours to people of doubtful characters.”

“Who is it among those that he gave these national honours have impeccable characters? for me, these awards should be given to people who have retired with unblemished careers and have not been followed by either ICPC or EFCC.”

“Better still, be given to those who died in national service. I will rather give it to a cook that knows how to cook better than give it to a recharge card seller turned trillionaire and that is my view.”
