Malami, who served under former President Muhammadu Buhari, has remained one of Nigeria’s most controversial political figures due to multiple corruption allegations trailing his tenure as Attorney-General.
The embattled former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), has announced that he has emerged as the governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kebbi State for the 2027 general elections, despite his ongoing corruption trial and bail over alleged multi-billion-naira fraud charges.
The endorsement was announced in a statement issued by Mohammed Bello Doka, Special Assistant on Media to Malami.
Doka stated that ADC’s endorsement of the embattled former AGF as the party’s preferred governorship candidate followed consultations with party leaders, stakeholders and supporters across the state.
The statement read in part: “I sincerely appreciate the confidence and support shown by leaders, stakeholders, and supporters of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kebbi State ahead of the 2027 general elections,” the statement read.
