Former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, has emerged as the African Democratic Congress governorship candidate for Kebbi State ahead of the 2027 general elections following his affirmation as the party’s consensus aspirant.

Malami disclosed this in a statement issued on Sunday through his Special Assistant on Media, Mohammed Bello Doka, in which he also announced the party’s senatorial candidates for the state.

The former minister, who recently defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress to the ADC, thanked party leaders and supporters for what he described as their confidence and support ahead of the 2027 polls.

“I sincerely appreciate the confidence and support shown by leaders, stakeholders, and supporters of the African Democratic Congress in Kebbi State ahead of the 2027 general elections,” Malami said.
