Thursday, July 3, 2025 - Former
Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami,
has officially resigned from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC
and defected to the African Democratic Congress, ADC, on Tuesday, July 2,
2025.
In a statement released, Malami noted that his decision was
not made out of anger or ambition but inspired by love for Nigeria.
The statement of defection partly reads
”My Fellow
Nigerians, and the Good People of Kebbi State, After wide consultations and
deep personal reflection, I hereby announce my resignation from the All
Progressives Congress (APC) and my decision to align with the African
Democratic Congress (ADC), the party of choice for our coalition — a coalition
driven by the urgent need to rescue our country from further decline.
This is not
a decision made out of anger or ambition, but one inspired by love for our
nation and concern for the hardship our people are facing daily.
Nigeria is
bleeding. Insecurity has taken over our homes, especially in the North.
Banditry, kidnappings, and terrorism have become part of our lives while the
government prioritizes politics over the safety of its citizens.
Our economy
is in shambles. Prices of basic food items have tripled. The poor can no longer
feed their families. Jobs are disappearing. Young people are hopeless. Instead
of focusing on real solutions, the government is consumed by propaganda and
political distractions.
Governance
has been abandoned. Appointments, projects, and policies are now guided by
political loyalty and not national interest. I cannot remain part of a system
that watches in silence as Nigerians suffer and d!e.
This is why
I am joining the ADC — a platform built on the values of justice, inclusion,
competence, and national renewal. I believe that through this coalition and
with the support of Nigerians, we can chart a new course for our beloved
country.
To the
people of Kebbi State, I remain your son and servant. I will never abandon you.
This move is to amplify your voice, protect your interests, and restore hope to
our future.
To every
Nigerian, I urge you to join this movement. Let us rise above fear and reclaim
our nation. Nigeria belongs to all of us.”
