A youth group within the All Progressives Congress in Kebbi State, the Kebbi APC Youth Vanguard (KAYVA), has criticised former Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, over comments made during the launch of his 2027 governorship ambition.
The group reacted after Malami reportedly purchased the APC nomination and expression of interest forms and unveiled a campaign initiative tagged ‘Operation Rescue,’ which he said was aimed at addressing challenges facing Kebbi State under the administration of Governor Nasir Idris.
Speaking with journalists, spokesperson of the group, Adamu Ahmed, said KAYVA disagreed with Malami’s position on the state of governance in Kebbi.
‘We do not share the view that Kebbi State needs to be rescued,’ Ahmed said.
He added that the group believed the current administration had continued to make efforts in addressing developmental and security challenges in the state.
Ahmed also urged residents to carefully assess the records and programmes of political aspirants ahead of the 2027 governorship election.
‘We encourage the people of Kebbi State to evaluate all aspirants based on their contributions, experience and plans for the state,’ he said.
The group further called on party members and residents to remain supportive of the current administration while political activities ahead of the election continue.
