<p><br>Former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, has secured the African Democratic Congress, ADC, governorship nomination form for the 2027 Kebbi governorship election.</p>
<p>In a statement shared on Saturday via his official Facebook page, Malami declared what he described as a “state of emergency on misgovernance” in Kebbi State, saying he could no longer remain silent while the state faced worsening insecurity, poverty, educational decline and economic hardship.</p>
<p>He said the decision to join the race was driven by concerns over the condition of the state, which he claimed was facing severe governance and humanitarian challenges.</p>
<p>Malami alleged that the state is currently facing severe governance and humanitarian challenges, citing statistics on out-of-school children, poverty levels, malnutrition, and poor access to healthcare services.</p>
<p>According to him, over 67 per cent of children between the ages of 6 and 15 in Kebbi are out of school, while more than 88 per cent of children in the state live in multidimensional poverty.</p>
<p>He also claimed that hundreds of severely malnourished children died within nine months in 2025, while maternal mortality and under-five health outcomes remain critical concerns due to poor access to healthcare in rural communities.</p>
<p>Malami further said insecurity has worsened across several parts of the state, with recurring bandit attacks, kidnappings, displacement of farmers, and declining economic activity.</p>
<p>He said these conditions reflect what he described as misplaced priorities and the collapse of key public sectors.</p>
<p>The former minister declared a “state of emergency on misgovernance in Kebbi State,” promising to focus on security, education, healthcare, agriculture, youth empowerment, and governance reforms if elected governor.</p>
<p>Malami said he was entering the race with a commitment to public service, accountability, and sustainable development, adding that the current situation in the state must change.</p>
<p>He vowed to work towards rebuilding Kebbi into a safer and more prosperous state, insisting that the era of poor leadership and propaganda must end.</p>
