Former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, says he’s ready to honour the invitation from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, saying as a well-grounded public servant he believes in accountability.
The former minister made the remark in a post he shared on the social media, where he said he has started cooperating with the anti-graft agency who are investigating him.
He said: “This is to confirm that I have been invited by the EFCC. As a law-abiding and patriotic citizen, I hereby reaffirm my commitment to honour the invitation.
“I understand the spirit of accountability and transparency in public service — the principles that I both advocate and champion.
“Rooted in public service and in the spirit of transparency and accountability, I am committed to sharing with the Nigerian public the developments as they unfold.”
The former minister had recently declared his intention to contest the governorship election in Kebbi state in 2027, saying he will start his campaign as soon as INEC gave a go -ahead to politicians to start campaigning.
Malami: “INEC guidelines do not allow us to begin any form of mobilisation yet, but I assure you that when the time comes, you will see that we have the support of the people of Kebbi state,” he said.
“I have agreed to contest, and there is no retreat. God willing, we are going to win because we have people who believe in us, and we will not let them down.”
Not a few insist that his predicament with the EFCC could be a setback for him to achieve his governorship ambition.
