In a significant development that could shape the future of Kebbi State’s politics, influential leaders from across the state are rallying behind Dr. Abubakar Malami, the former Attorney General of the Federation, in his potential bid for the 2027 gubernatorial election. The calls for Malami’s return to frontline politics are gaining momentum, with prominent figures from the Zuru, Yauri, and Gwandu Emirates expressing their support for his candidacy.
Over the past week, a series of consultative visits have taken place in Abuja, where traditional and political leaders have voiced their backing for Malami’s potential run. Hon. Babangida Alkali Saidu, leading a strong delegation from Zuru, pledged his full support for Malami, alongside influential supporters. Similarly, Hon. Bala Horse from Yauri Emirate described Malami as "the bridge between Kebbi’s struggles and its true elevation," citing his ability to connect with people across political divides. Horse, a seasoned grassroots mobilizer and former PDP House of Representatives aspirant, emphasized Malami’s trustworthiness, a quality that resonates deeply with the electorate.
Further endorsements have come from Hon. Abubakar B. Sabo, a former member of the Kebbi State House of Assembly, who visited Malami’s private office in Abuja to offer his formal backing. Sabo praised Malami’s unwavering commitment to the development of Kebbi State, a trait that has endeared him to many. As the pressure mounts on Malami to formally declare his interest, sources close to the movement hint at further consultations in the coming weeks.
The movement to bring Malami back into the political scene reflects a broader desire for leadership that can address the challenges facing Kebbi State. With his experience as a former Minister and his reputation as a unifying figure, Malami is seen by many as the ideal candidate to steer the state towards prosperity. As the political landscape continues to evolve, one thing is clear: the people of Kebbi State are eager for change, and Dr. Abubakar Malami’s potential candidacy has ignited a sense of hope and anticipation. Whether he will answer the call to return to politics remains to be seen, but for now, the momentum behind his potential bid is undeniable.
