The Zabarmawa Association of Kebbi State indigenes residing in Abuja has issued a bold demand for the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, to run for the governorship of Kebbi State in the upcoming election.
In a meeting held today, the group of influential Kebbi indigenes expressed their collective desire for Malami to step into the political arena and contest for the highest office in the state. The association, representing a broad spectrum of the state’s citizens in the capital, believes that Malami, with his extensive legal experience and national prominence, is the ideal candidate to lead Kebbi State into a new era of progress and development.
"Malami has shown exceptional leadership in his capacity as the Attorney General, and we believe it is time for him to bring that same level of commitment and integrity to Kebbi State as its governor," said a spokesperson for the association.
The demand, made with a sense of urgency, reflects the growing frustration among the group’s members over the current state of affairs in Kebbi. They voiced concerns about the lack of development in key areas such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure, which they believe can be better addressed with strong, capable leadership.
The association's call for Malami to contest is seen as part of a larger push for transformative leadership in Kebbi State, with hopes that a candidate with Malami’s stature and legal background would be able to provide the much-needed solutions to the challenges facing the state.
As the pressure builds, it remains to be seen whether Malami will heed the call to run for governor or if other political players will emerge to contest the governorship. However, one thing is clear: the Zabarmawa Association’s demand has placed the issue of leadership in Kebbi State firmly on the radar.
