Former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami said he has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Malami disclosed this in a statement issued on Wednesday.
He explained that the decision to quit the ruling party was not borne out of anger but love for the nation and solidarity with hapless Nigerians.
“After wide consultations and deep personal reflection, I hereby announce my resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and my decision to align with the African Democratic Congress (ADC), the party of choice for our coalition — a coalition driven by the urgent need to rescue our country from further decline”.
“This is not a decision made out of anger or ambition, but one inspired by love for our nation and concern for the hardship our people are facing daily.”
The ex-AGF said Nigeria is bleeding under the APC, with insecurity manifested in banditry, kidnappings and terrorism taking over the nation.
He accused the ruling party of abandoning governance.
Malami said, “Nigeria is bleeding. Insecurity has taken over our homes, especially in the North. Banditry, kidnappings, and terrorism have become part of our lives while the government prioritizes politics over the safety of its citizens.
“Our economy is in shambles. Prices of basic food items have tripled. The poor can no longer feed their families. Jobs are disappearing. Young people are hopeless. Instead of focusing on real solutions, the government is consumed by propaganda and political distractions.
“Governance has been abandoned. Appointments, projects, and policies are now guided by political loyalty and not national interest. I cannot remain part of a system that watches in silence as Nigerians suffer and die.”
