Why I Dumped APC For ADC – Malami

Former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), officially announced his resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Malami, who played a significant role in the past administration led by Muhammadu Buhari, has now joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

In a statement he shared with journalists on Wednesday, Malami, who is from Kebbi State, said his decision was based on the worsening condition of the country, including insecurity and economic struggles.

He said his move was not driven by personal ambition, but by the hardship many Nigerians are going through every day.

The statement 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.”

He criticized the current state of the nation, saying insecurity has spread deeply, especially in the North.

“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.”

Malami also pointed to the country’s economic difficulties, where the cost of food has gone up and many people can no longer afford to survive.

“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.”

He accused the ruling government of ignoring real governance and focusing instead on political loyalty over national interest.

“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.”

Explaining why he joined ADC, Malami said he believes it offers the right values and opportunities to rebuild the country.

“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.”

He assured the people of Kebbi State that he still stands with them and will continue to fight for their interests.

“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.”

Malami ended the message by calling on all Nigerians to take part in the movement to fix the country.

“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.
“May God bless Kebbi State. May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
