ABUJA (CONVERSEER) – With the 2027 elections still two years away, the former Attorney General of the Federation and ex-minister of justice, Abubakar Malami, has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of abandoning governance.
The former AGF said that Nigeria has been bedevilled with all sorts of challenges like insecurity, hardship and poverty while the leadership of the APC and its members have chosen to concentrate on campaigning for the 2027 general elections.
Malami said this at the National Political Consultative Group (North) meeting which took place in Abuja.
He described the endorsement of President Bola Tinubu by key members of the party including governors of states as premature.

He also accused the party of being insensitive to the plight of Nigerians by prioritising politics over governance.
Condemning some of the policies of the present administration led by Tinubu, the former minister said the removal of the fuel subsidy was unplanned.
He said, “Just a few days ago, the ruling party held its national summit and instead of addressing the serious issues of insecurity, economic hardship and rising poverty, it chose to focus on politics, endorsing President Bola Tinubu as sole candidate for the 2027 election that is still two years away.”
