The Coordinator of the Wazirin Adamawa Support Group, Alhaji Mustapha Umar Dan-Kuri Argungu, and Comrade Hassan Kangiwa have expressed their full support for former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, as he prepares to contest the 2027 Kebbi State governorship election under the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The duo made the declaration during a courtesy visit to Malami at his Abuja office on Saturday, where they commended his courage to stand as a voice of principled opposition in Nigeria’s current political climate. They described him as a man of conviction and vision whose political ideology is rooted in justice, transparency, and people-oriented governance.
Speaking during the visit, Alhaji Umar Dan-Kuri noted that the people of Kebbi are yearning for change and credible leadership that will place the welfare of citizens above political favoritism. He stressed that Malami’s wealth of experience as a former Minister of Justice and his deep understanding of governance make him the most qualified candidate to reposition Kebbi State on the path of sustainable growth and economic independence.
According to him, “Our mission is clear — to rally the people of Kebbi behind a man who has served this nation selflessly and who understands that leadership is a trust, not a transaction. Malami’s decision to join the ADC shows his commitment to a new political culture that prioritizes people over party.”
Comrade Hassan Kangiwa, in his remarks, emphasized that Malami’s entry into the ADC represents a breath of fresh air in Kebbi politics. He described him as a bridge between the old and young generations, capable of restoring public confidence in governance. “We are tired of recycled promises and political deception,” he said. “Malami stands out as a leader who can unite the people, create jobs, and restore dignity to public office.”
Responding, Abubakar Malami expressed gratitude to the delegation for their solidarity and unwavering faith in his vision for Kebbi State. He stated that his decision to align with the ADC stemmed from a desire to redefine governance and challenge the dominance of entrenched political interests that have kept the state from achieving its full potential.
“I believe Kebbi deserves a new direction — one anchored on fairness, accountability, and inclusive development,” Malami said. “We cannot continue to rely on the same system that has failed to deliver the dividends of democracy to our people.”
He reaffirmed his readiness to work with Democratic-minded individuals and groups to build a formidable movement capable of transforming Kebbi into a model of good governance in Northern Nigeria.
The visit concluded with a pledge by the Wazirin Adamawa Support Group to intensify grassroots mobilization across all 21 local government areas of Kebbi State, assuring Malami of their total support as the ADC builds momentum ahead of the 2027 elections.
