Former Attorney-General of the Federation Abubakar Malami has officially obtained the governorship nomination form of the African Democratic Congress ahead of the upcoming governorship election in Kebbi State.
The development marks a significant political move for Abubakar Malami, who served as Nigeria’s chief law officer under former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration. His decision to pursue the governorship under the platform of the African Democratic Congress is expected to reshape the political landscape in Kebbi State.
Party officials confirmed that the former AGF completed the process of obtaining the nomination form as preparations intensify ahead of the election season. Supporters of Abubakar Malami described the move as a major boost for the party’s chances in the state.
Political analysts say Malami’s entry into the race could increase competition among major political parties in Kebbi State, particularly given his national political profile and experience in federal government.
The African Democratic Congress has been seeking to strengthen its influence across Nigeria by attracting prominent political figures and expanding its grassroots support base ahead of future elections.
Observers also note that recent defections, alliances, and political repositioning within Nigeria’s opposition space continue to shape the country’s evolving electoral environment.
Although Abubakar Malami has yet to formally unveil his campaign agenda, supporters expect issues such as infrastructure, security, agriculture, and economic development to dominate political discussions in the state.
Opposition parties are also expected to intensify preparations as the governorship contest gradually takes shape in Kebbi State.
The announcement has already generated reactions across political circles, with many closely watching how the former AGF’s candidacy could influence political alliances and voter sentiment ahead of the election.
As political activities continue to build nationwide, Kebbi State is expected to remain one of the key battlegrounds to watch in Nigeria’s evolving political landscape.
