By Musa Baba Adamu

A former Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and ex-minister of justice, Abubakar Malami has accused his party, the All Progressives Congress, (APC), of abandoning governance in favor of campaign to secure victory in the upcoming 2027 election.

Malami made the remarks at the National Political Consultative Group (North) meeting which recently took place in Abuja.

He accused the party of being insensitive to the plight of Nigerians by prioritising politics over governance.

“Just a few days ago, the ruling party held its national summit and instead of addressing the serious issues of insecurity, economic hardship and rising poverty, it chose to focus on politics, endorsing President Bola Tinubu as sole candidate for the 2027 election that is still two years away.”

He urged office holders to prioritize the needs of their people rather than the outcome of the election that is still far off.

Malami who was an active member of the Buhari administration is still an active member of the APC, though he has expressed dissatisfaction with some of the actions of the party members.
