Malami declares for Kebbi governorship election

Abubakar Malami, attorney-general of the federation (AGF), has declared his intention to run for the Kebbi state governorship in 2023.

The Minister made the declaration at an event in Kebbi on Monday.

He had contested the governorship ticket in 2014, but he lost to incumbent Atiku Bagudu, who is completing his second term of office.

“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,” he was quoted as as saying.

“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.

“I have no history of betrayal and I won’t betray you people. I will work for you.”

The Minister’s ambition has been accused of seeking to delete Section 84 (12) of the Electoral Act, because of his governorship ambition.
