He noted that his decision was not made out of anger or ambition but inspired by love for Nigeria.
Abubakar Malami, a former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice has joined the African Democratic Congress.
Malami officially resigned from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC before joining the ADC.
Malami announced his defection to the African Democratic Congress, ADC, on Tuesday, July 2, 2025, citing the party’s alignment with a new coalition aimed at rescuing Nigeria from what he described as “further decline.”
He noted that his decision was not made out of anger or ambition but inspired by love for Nigeria.
The statement of defection partly reads, ”My Fellow Nigerians, and the Good People of Kebbi State, 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.
”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.
”This is why I am joining the ADC — a platform built on the values of justice, inclusion, competence, and national renewal. I believe that through this coalition and with the support of Nigerians, we can chart a new course for our beloved country.
”To the people of Kebbi State, I remain your son and servant. I will never abandon you. This move is to amplify your voice, protect your interests, and restore hope to our future.
”To every Nigerian, I urge you to join this movement. Let us rise above fear and reclaim our nation. Nigeria belongs to all of us.”
