2023: I’ve not declared for elective post ― Malami

The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, has debunked the reports that he had declared interest to contest any elective position in 2023.

Malami made this known via a statement issued and made available to The Star on Tuesday by Dr. Umar Jibrilu Gwandu, the Special Assistant on Media and Public Relations, Office of the Attorney General of the Federation.

The AGF said the clarification became necessary following a false and fabricated publication in some sections of the media.

Malami added that 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 that he had declared for an elective position in 2023 was triggered out of curiosity and eagerness by followers and loyalists.

The AGF said the report circulated as the purported declaration was mischievously translated with fabricated insertions and interpolations that cannot in spirit and context establish the misinformation circulated.

He, however, expressed his appreciation to his supporters and the general public for expressing their interest.

The AFG stated that, at the appropriate time, Nigerians will hear from the “horses mouth in full glare of the media, stakeholders, like-minds, party faithful and teaming supporters.”
