2023: Malami Debunks Reports That He Has Official Declared To Contest In Kebbi Governorship Poll

 

Nigeria's Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami has said he is yet to officially declare to participate the 2023 governorship election in Kebbi.

 

In a statement by Dr. Umar Gwandu, Malami’s Special Assistant on Media and Public Relations, the AGF said the clarification became necessary in view of “a false and fabricated publication in some sections of the media.”

 

He noted that Mr Malami’s declaration to contest for a political position was never a hidden affair or clandestine operation that could be reported as a scoop by a section of the media.

 

Malami’s spokesperson said the report was triggered out of curiosity and eagerness by followers and loyalists.

 

 

He said that at the appropriate time, “they will hear from the horse’s mouth in full glare of the media, stakeholders, like-minds, party faithful and teaming supporters.”
