Abubakar Malami, attorney general
of the federation (AGF) and minister of justice, has accused the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) of “taking the freedom of speech too far”.
Malami was reacting to the
allegations that he was involved in a plot to cause constitutional crisis in
Rivers state.
The PDP had alleged that Malami
and Rotimi Amaechi, minister of transportation, were pressuring the supreme
court to reverse the nullification of the primaries of Rivers chapter of the
All Progressive Congress (APC).
The court had upheld the verdict
of the trial court that excluded the APC from participating in the general
election that held in the state, ruling that the APC did not conduct credible
primary elections.
But fielding questions from state
house correspondents on the outcome of the federal executive council (FEC)
meeting on Wednesday Malami said “the
PDP has taken freedom of speech too far.”
He said unless otherwise proven
in court that he is involved in the act, the allegation will remain an
accusation.
“Regarding what was leveled
against me by PDP, I think it remains an accusation. It has to remain so until
proven through a judicial process,” he said.
“But for me I think it is freedom
of speech that has been taken too far.”
