🔥 Abubakar Malami, former Attorney General and Justice Minister, has officially thrown his hat into the ring for Kebbi State’s 2027 governorship election! He’s running under the African Democratic Congress (ADC) after leaving the APC in July. Here’s his plan:
Key Pledges:
– Tackle Insecurity: Address banditry affecting farmers.
– Revive Agriculture: Reopen shut rice mills, boost food production.
– Improve Welfare: Prioritize Kebbi residents’ needs, not personal gain.
His Words:
_”I have agreed to contest, and there is no retreat. God willing, we are going to win. We won’t disappoint those who believe in us.”_
Criticism of APC:
– Blames ruling party for worsening northern hardship.
– Faults policies favoring foreign companies over local industries.
Next Steps:
– Awaits INEC’s green light to mobilize support.
– Faces tensions with APC’s Governor Nasir Idris’ supporters.
Malami frames this as a “rescue mission” for Kebbi.
