A former chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Yauri Local Government Area, Alhaji Rabiu Suleiman Gulma, has called on former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), to contest the 2027 governorship election in Kebbi State.

Gulma made the appeal while speaking to journalists in Yauri, noting that Malami’s experience in governance and national exposure make him a suitable candidate to lead the state.

“Though he has not declared interest, we believe Malami is the kind of leader Kebbi needs. His track record speaks for itself,” he said.

Gulma added that he and other loyalists are prepared to begin consultations and mobilise support across all 21 local government areas of the state, should Malami signal interest in the race.

He said many APC stakeholders across Kebbi are optimistic that Malami could restore unity within the party and bring a new sense of direction to the state’s development.
