Malami for Kebbi 2027! Former AGF Declares "State of Emergency on Misgovernance" Under ADC Banner

BIRNIN KEBBI, KEBBI – The political landscape of Kebbi State has been sent into a frenzy as Abubakar Malami (SAN), the former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, officially declared his bid for the 2027 Governorship race. In a surprising strategic move, Malami has ditched the ruling party to secure the nomination form of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

A "State of Emergency" Declared

In a powerful statement shared across his social media platforms on Saturday, Malami didn't hold back. He officially declared a "State of Emergency on Misgovernance" in Kebbi State. Tomorrows Best reports that the former Justice Minister cited a complete collapse of leadership, alleging that the current administration has left the people of Kebbi in a cycle of poverty and fear.

The Grim Reality: Kebbi by the Numbers

Malami supported his declaration with alarming statistics that highlight the humanitarian crisis currently facing the state. To help our readers at Tomorrows Best understand the scale of the challenge, we’ve organized the data below:

Sector	Status / Statistic
Education	67% of children (ages 6-15) are out of school.
Poverty Rate	88% of children live in multidimensional poverty.
Healthcare	High maternal mortality & zero rural antenatal care.
Security	Widespread banditry causing farm abandonment.

"No Retreat, No Surrender"

Malami’s campaign is focusing heavily on restoration. He accused the current administration of misplaced priorities, spending money on "propaganda" while farmers are kidnapped and businesses operate in uncertainty. If elected in 2027, Malami promises to strengthen healthcare delivery and reclaim farmlands from bandits.

"I can no longer remain silent while residents face deepening hardship. There will be no retreat and no surrender in the collective struggle to rescue our state." — Abubakar Malami

Why the ADC?

Malami’s move to the ADC signals a growing trend of "Third Force" politics in Nigeria. Analysts suggest that the ADC provides him with a platform free from the internal friction of the major parties, allowing him to present himself as a "rescue candidate" driven by accountability and sustainable development.

Quick Fact: Did you know? Abubakar Malami served as the Attorney General for 8 years, making him the longest-serving AGF in Nigeria’s history. His entry into the Kebbi race significantly shifts the power balance for the 2027 polls.

Is Malami the savior Kebbi has been waiting for, or is this just political maneuvering?
