Faruk Illo Media has responded decisively to the recent attack on former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami SAN, by Bulama Waziri. The attack, which questioned Malami SAN’s leadership, influence, and political relevance, has been widely criticized and exposed as unfounded in light of the former Minister’s long-standing achievements and widespread support.
Reliable sources confirm that the majority of the CPC block state chairmen have formally endorsed Abubakar Malami SAN—not only as their leader but also as their voice—demonstrating the deep trust and confidence he commands across political and legal circles. This overwhelming support directly contradicts Waziri’s claims and exposes his attack as nothing more than a desperate bid for attention.
When comparing Abubakar Malami SAN with Bulama Waziri, the contrast is undeniable. Malami’s career spans decades of distinguished legal and political service, including his tenure as Nigeria’s Attorney General and Minister of Justice, where he handled critical national legal matters with integrity, intelligence, and authority. Bulama, by contrast, remains a political novice, relying on opportunistic alignments, social media commentary, and public theatrics to remain in the conversation. While Malami commands genuine influence and respect across multiple tiers of governance, Waziri’s “influence” is fleeting and tied solely to chasing headlines.
Bulama Waziri has increasingly exposed himself as a “wannabe data boy” for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu—constantly attempting to ride on the ruling administration’s coattails to stay relevant. In contrast, Abubakar Malami SAN has built a lasting legacy grounded in competence, loyalty, and tangible results. While Waziri chases attention, Malami continues to shape policies, advise leaders, and maintain the respect of political and legal peers alike.
Waziri’s attack is further weakened by glaring contradictions. The CPC, which he frequently invokes, has effectively ceased to exist following the formation of the APC. Yet, he followed former Nasarawa Governor Almakura to meet President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, presenting themselves as representatives of a defunct party. This opportunistic maneuver reveals Waziri’s desperation and lack of genuine political standing.
Faruk Illo Media emphasizes that Abubakar Malami SAN’s career has been marked by dedication to justice, legal excellence, and national service, making such attacks appear both baseless and reckless. Even as a former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Malami’s influence in shaping Nigeria’s legal and political landscape remains formidable, with many stakeholders continuing to seek his guidance and counsel.
This episode serves as a stark reminder that truth, experience, and legitimate support always outshine rhetoric and opportunistic attacks. Bulama Waziri’s attempt to discredit Abubakar Malami SAN has not only failed but has further cemented the former Minister’s position as one of Nigeria’s most respected and enduring leaders.
