Malami declares 2027 Kebbi governorship bid, says he’ll salvage state
Abubakar Malami, former attorney-general of the federation (AGF), has declared his intention to contest the 2027 governorship election in Kebbi state.
Malami announced his ambition during an interview with DCL Hausa on Monday.
The former AGF said he has the support of residents across the state.
“INEC guidelines do not allow us to begin any form of mobilisation yet, but I assure you that when the time comes, you will see that we have the support of the people of Kebbi state,” he said.
“I have agreed to contest, and there is no retreat. God willing, we are going to win because we have people who believe in us, and we will not let them down.”
Malami criticised the All Progressives Congress (APC), saying the ruling party had caused hardship, especially in the northern region.
