Former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has dismissed rumours of stealthily dumping the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
Malami assured that he’s still a member of the APC, stressing that he can’t defect to the SDP in secret.
He, however, admitted consulting with other political platforms and associations.
This is contained in a statement signed by the ex-AGF’s media aide, Mohammed Bello Doka, on Friday.
The statement reads partly: “Malami is a prominent figure in Nigeria, therefore, cannot defect to any party in secret, he is still in APC but in a broad consultations with different platforms. Until the consultations are over, it is premature to talk about defection or declaration of interest.”
The statement also said Malami remains in active politics and would make his position known when the time was ripe.
‘’Malami has right to belong to any political party and to contest any position in Kebbi State,’’ Doka added.
