Former Attorney General Abubakar Malami Quits APC, Joins ADC

In a surprising twist on Nigeria’s political stage, former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, has announced his resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC). Malami, a key figure in the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari, made the move official in a public statement, citing a desire for a new political direction aligned with what he termed “progressive ideals.”

Following his departure from the APC, Malami declared his defection to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), a shift that has generated significant buzz across the country’s political circles. The ADC has welcomed him with open arms, describing his entry as a major gain in the lead-up to future elections.

Party insiders suggest that Malami’s extensive experience and influence in national governance could elevate the party’s profile, especially in the North-West region. His involvement is expected to bring fresh momentum and possibly attract other disenchanted figures from the APC and beyond.

Malami’s switch is seen as a major realignment, given his former role in shaping the APC’s legal and policy direction. While it remains to be seen how his move will affect broader political dynamics, Malami has pledged to use his new platform to advocate for transparency, inclusion, and stronger democratic values.
