The Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN) yesterday, declared his interest to contest the Kebbi governorship under the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the State.
Malami, who made his intentions known at the Presidential Hall in Birnin-Kebbi, the State capital, during APC’s stakeholders’ meeting, said, “If you will support me and accept me, I wish to say I am interested in becoming the next governor of Kebbi, if you permit me”.
His declaration reportedly had the blessings of the State executives of APC, Ward Chairmen and local governments Excos, who gave Malami resounding affirmative applause.
Earlier in his speech, the State’s APC Chairman, Muhammad Abubakar Kana, said that the meeting was called to thank Bagudu for his support to the party and assure him of their unalloyed support, adding that “we want to thank you for being there for the party and all of us, we are ready to support any candidate of your choice”.
The State’s party chief urged members to woo more reasonable persons that can add value to the party for the success of the party.
Recall that Malami and others were given 72 hours by a directive of their party to resign their appointments, but Malami is still holding on as he declares for the Kebbi governorship.
