The Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has declared interest in the Kebbi State governorship race.
Malami’s declaration was captured in a video posted by Arise TV on Tuesday.
In the video, the AGF said, “If God in his mercies permits, and all goes well, I will as a politician contest the governorship of Kebbi state. I am seeking your support.
“I want to announce that I will contest indeed, and as such, I am counting on your prayers and support so that we can all work and survive the race together,” he added. “I have no history of betrayal, and I won’t betray you, people. I will work for you,” he said.
Malami solicited for the support of Kebbi residents to realize his new ambition, stressing that he has a sterling record of being loyal.
Recall that Malami is one of those who fought relentlessly for the cancelation of Section 84(12) of the Electoral Act, which mandates the resignation of political appointees seeking another political office in an election.
