Senior Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on Political Matters, Barrister Ahmed Gulak, has called on Nigerians to be wary of Alhaji Buba Galadima, saying the latter was working for the destruction of the country.
He said the consistent ugly utterances being made by the Congress for Progressive Change chieftain was suggestive of this allusion.
"Alhaji Buba Galadima and some of his CPC members are people bent on destroying the country through their actions and utterances", the presidential aide said.

Galadima was quoted in an interview with one of the national dailies as saying "President Jonathan is sitting and superintending the disintegration of Nigeria". Gulak, who described the statement as "one without substance", asked the CPC chieftain to bury his head in shame, positing that he was not fit to remain in the country as a citizen.
"President Goodluck Jonathan was voted for as president by Nigerians to lead them; so it is unbecoming of any person to say that the president is sitting on and administering the disintegration of Nigeria", he said.
"What the types of Buba Galadinma are doing, is to really bring down the country. People like Buba Galadima are always used to saying and engaging in things that will bring crises to this country. Extract the likes of Buba Galadima out of this country today and the country will know peace and develop in line with expectations of good thinking Nigerians", the presidential aide added.
Commenting on the call by some people that the president resigns over failure to address the country's challenges, especially security, Gulak maintained that people behind such talks should have their heads examined since according to him, the president has changed the face of Nigeria.
"The 2011 election was adjudged to be the most credible in Nigeria's political history. Even as one of the presidential candidates in that election, he did not interfere with the operations of the relevant agencies, the president was willingly voted for by Nigerians", he stated.
The president, Gulak said, is "doing his best for this country. I am yet to see a president who is so committed in this country like President Goodluck Jonathan".
