Former Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, has officially submitted his nomination and expression of interest forms to contest the 2027 governorship election in Kebbi State under the banner of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The submission took place at the ADC National Secretariat in Abuja, as confirmed by his Special Assistant on Media, Mohammed Bello Doka, in a statement on Thursday. The forms were filed in compliance with the party’s regulations.
Malami’s decision to join the race has sparked widespread political discussion across Kebbi State, particularly as consultations for the 2027 polls intensify. The former minister has already begun touring the 21 local government areas to consolidate support for his candidacy.
In earlier reports, Malami had secured the ADC nomination forms and vowed to focus on rebuilding the state, prioritizing security, agriculture, infrastructure, education, and healthcare. He cited pressing challenges such as insecurity, economic hardship, and poor governance as motivations for his ambition.
Describing the ADC as a party committed to accountability, inclusivity, and progress, Malami expressed confidence that the platform aligns with his vision for Kebbi’s future.
