Former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has received the governorship nomination form from the African Democratic Congress for the upcoming 2027 Kebbi State governorship election.

In a statement posted on his social media accounts on Saturday, Malami explained that he decided to run because he could no longer stay quiet about the growing issues he sees in Kebbi State, such as rising insecurity, poverty, bad healthcare, lower education quality, and economic struggles.

He claimed that the state is going through one of the worst times in terms of both people‘s welfare and how the government is run.
He pointed to data showing that more than 67 percent of children aged six to 15 are not in school, and over 88 percent of children in the state live in extreme poverty.

The former minister also raised concerns about the healthcare sector, stating that maternal mortality remains high, while many rural communities lack access to proper antenatal care and other essential medical services.

Speaking on insecurity, Malami said several communities across the state continue to face attacks by bandits and kidnappers, forcing farmers to abandon their farmlands and businesses to operate under fear and uncertainty.

Declaring what he called a “State of Emergency on Misgovernance” in Kebbi State, the ADC governorship aspirant pledged to prioritise security, quality education, improved healthcare, agricultural revival, and youth empowerment if elected governor in 2027.

Malami said his ambition is driven by service, accountability, and sustainable development, adding that the era of ineffective leadership and empty propaganda must come to an end.

He also called on the people of Kebbi State to support his vision of rebuilding the state into a safer and more prosperous society.

“There will be no retreat and no surrender in the collective struggle to rescue our state,” he declared.
