Abubakar Malami, Nigeria’s attorney general and minister of justice, has debunked rumours of his resignation. There have been reports alleging that Malami has resigned to contest for governorship in Kebbi, his home state.
But Malami’s special assistant on media and public relations, Umar Jubril Gwandu, on Thursday said that his boss has not resigned from office as attorney general of Nigeria. He made the clarification in a statement in Abuja on Thursday.
According to the statement, Malami remains committed to discharging statutory obligations and constitutionally delineated responsibilities in accordance with the provisions of extant laws.
Malami thanked Nigerians for the demonstration of love and unparalleled interest shown in him.
