Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice,
Abubakar Malami (SAN), says he is yet to declare his interest to contest an
elective office in 2023.
He made this known in a statement on Tuesday by his
spokesman, Umar Gwandu, amid reports that the minister would
be running to succeed incumbent Kebbi State governor, Abubakar Bagudu, in 2023.
According to the statement titled, ‘2023: I am yet to
declare –Malami’, the clarification became necessary in view of “a false and
fabricated publication in some section of the media”.
The statement partly read, “Gwandu said the declaration to
contest for a political position was never a hidden affair or clandestine
operation that could be reported as a scoop by a section of the media.
“He said the report was triggered out of curiosity and
eagerness by followers and loyalists.
“Gwandu said at the
appropriate time they will hear from the horse’s mouth in the full glare of the
media, stakeholders, like-minds, party faithful and teeming supporters.”
Malami, who is from Kebbi State, is a two-term member of the
cabinet of the President, Muhammadu Buhari and a chieftain of the All Progressives
Congress.
