In a dramatic move that has sent shockwaves through Kebbi State’s political landscape, Hon. Ojojo, a prominent grassroots politician from Bagudo Local Government Area, paid a surprise visit to the former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, at his private office in Abuja.
Sources close to the meeting revealed that the fiery politician came with a clear message: Kebbi State needs a new direction, and Malami is the man to lead it.
Ojojo, known for his bluntness and unwavering stand on accountability, didn’t mince words during the closed-door meeting. He passionately appealed to Malami to “throw his heart into the contest” and lead a total political overhaul in Kebbi. He is pushing for what he described as “a clean sweep” — a complete change of all elected officials from the presidency down to National Assembly members and the state governor.
“We need bold leadership, someone who can take the bull by the horns. Kebbi has been in the dark for too long, and I believe Malami has the pedigree, network, and experience to light the way,” Ojojo reportedly said during the meeting.
This unexpected political move is already gaining attention in northern political circles, as it signals a possible comeback for Malami, who has largely remained silent since leaving office. Many believe his silence was strategic, and Ojojo’s visit could be the first step in a carefully planned political resurgence.
Ojojo further expressed dismay at what he described as a “failure of leadership across all levels” in Kebbi, lamenting the widespread hardship, unemployment, and lack of development plaguing the state. He said the time has come to rally behind new leaders with vision, courage, and commitment to the people.
Observers say the call for a full-scale leadership change in Kebbi might resonate with a population increasingly frustrated by stagnation, economic hardship, and political recycling. If Malami heeds the call, the 2027 political race in Kebbi may take a drastically different shape.
As the political dust begins to rise, one thing is clear: the battle for Kebbi’s future has just begun.
