The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, has refuted claims that he has declared intention to contest the gubernatorial election in Kebbi State in 2023.
Malami said in a press release issued by his media aide, Dr Umar Gwandu, on Tuesday, that he had not yet declared interest to contest any elective position come 2023.
It stated, “The clarification became necessary in view of a false and fabricated publication in some section of the media.”
The AGF said 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.
“A video being circulated as the purported declaration was mischievously translated with fabricated insertions and interpolations that cannot in spirit and context establish the misinformation circulated,” Malami clarified.
He, however, thanked his teeming supporters and the general public for their interest.
The AGF said, at the appropriate time, they would hear from him on the issue.
