The Minister of Justice and
Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami (SAN) has rejected
claims that he is plotting to cause constitutional crisis in Rivers State.
Recall that the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) had accused Malami of working with the Minister of
Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, to nullify the result of the March 9, governorship
election in Rivers state.
Responding to the allegation,
Malami’s media aide, Salihu Isah, said PDP’s claims against his principal were
ridiculous, and as such demanded that the AGF should not be linked with the
local politics in Rivers State.
“We are in a democracy, and there
are institutions with powers to void elections if the need arises. That is not
part of the responsibilities of the Attorney General of the Federation.
“So, they should not link him
(the AGF) with such ridiculous claim. They should leave the AGF out of the
local politics in Rivers State.
“There are better and more
important issues to attract the attention of the minister,” Isah told Nation
newspaper.
