Abubakar Malami, a former Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, has resigned from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
In a statement titled “To the Good People of Kebbi and Fellow Nigerians,” Malami cited “wide consultations and deep personal reflection” as the reasons for his defection.
In the statement, Malami said, “My Fellow Nigerians, and the Good People of Kebbi State, After wide consultations and deep personal reflection, I hereby announce my resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and my decision to align with the African Democratic Congress (ADC). This is not a decision made out of anger or ambition, but one inspired by love for our nation and concern for the hardship our people are facing daily.”
Malami highlighted the country’s challenges, saying, “Nigeria is bleeding. Insecurity has taken over our homes, especially in the North. Banditry, kidnappings, and terrorism have become part of our lives while the government prioritizes politics over the safety of its citizens. Prices of basic food items have tripled. The poor can no longer feed their families. Jobs are disappearing. Young people are hopeless.”
He also accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of abandoning governance, stating that the government replaces “merit with political patronage in critical appointments.”
Malami assured the people of Kebbi State that he remains committed to their welfare and political future, saying, “To the people of Kebbi State, I remain your son and servant. I will never abandon you. This move is to amplify your voice, protect your interests, and restore hope to our future.”
He urged all Nigerians to join the movement, stating, “To every Nigerian, I urge you to join this movement. Let us rise above fear and reclaim our nation. Nigeria belongs to all of us.”
