Former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami
The African Democratic Congress in Kebbi State has alleged that the investigation and prosecution of its governorship candidate and former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), are politically motivated, insisting the party will not be intimidated ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The party stated this in a statement jointly signed by its State Chairman, Sufiyanu Bala, and Chairman of the ADC Elders Forum, Alhaji Shehu Sambawa, in Birnin Kebbi on Saturday.
While maintaining that it does not oppose lawful investigation or prosecution of anyone suspected of wrongdoing, the ADC accused the ruling All Progressives Congress of using state institutions to weaken opposition parties.
“We are not averse to lawful investigation, arraignment and/or prosecution of any suspect, but we are not blind to the ongoing Gestapo method of muzzling members of the opposition parties from across the nation,” the statement read.
