The African Democratic Congress ADC in Kebbi State claims that the investigation and prosecution of its governorship candidate and former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, are politically motivated. In a statement signed by State Chairman Sufiyanu Bala and ADC Elders Forum Chairman Alhaji Shehu Sambawa, the party asserted it would not be intimidated ahead of the 2027 general elections. While stating it does not oppose lawful investigations, the ADC accused the ruling All Progressives Congress APC of using state institutions to weaken opposition parties. The party described the process against Malami, who served as Attorney-General from 2015 to 2023 under former President Muhammadu Buhari, as orchestrated to achieve a predetermined goal. The ADC highlighted that Malami was arrested for a bailable offense and his properties were allegedly searched in his absence. The party also argued that allegations regarding Malami’s assets failed to consider his background before his appointment. The ADC reaffirmed its support for Malami, stating its members in Kebbi State remain united behind him and are committed to unseating the APC in the 2027 elections, despite what it calls political persecution and intimidation. Anti-graft agencies, however, maintain that investigations and prosecutions are evidence-based and lawful, regardless of political affiliation.
