The Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami (SAN) has denied reports in social media that he had asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to postpone the elections in Zamfara State.

In a statement by his spokesman, Othman Isah, the AGF said the aim of the social media reports is to confuse the electorate and Nigerians at large and/or to portray the ruling government as insensitive to the electoral process

He explained that he received a letter from a counsel in the matter M.A Mahmud informing his office of the subsisting Court of Appeal decision in CA/S/22/2019 “which effectively upheld the APC primaries in Zamfara State.”

“It is pertinent to note that the constraining circumstances that led to the delay in fielding a candidate were caused by INEC’s refusal to comply with the Zamfara State High Court Judgment which upheld the said APC primaries. INEC had relied on a Federal High Court Decision which nullified the primaries. However, the Court of Appeal decision in reference has now effectively overturned this decision and upheld the said APC primaries,” he said.

“It is also relevant to reiterate the provisions of sections 38 and 39 of the Electoral Act, 2010, which allows INEC the latitude and discretion to extend the time within which a political party may duly field a candidate for an election where unforeseen circumstances constrained such a party from doing so within the stipulated time frame.

“It is therefore our position that shutting a candidate out of the elections despite a subsisting Court of Appeal decision mandating otherwise would lead to a miscarriage of justice and certainly not in the interest of giving all parties in Zamfara state a level playing field. Our letter to INEC is therefore in line with the subsisting Court of Appeal decision as well as Sections 38 and 39 of the Electoral Act, 2010.

“It is at this point mandatory to reiterate that the issue for contention by the parties before the trial and appellate court were in no way and by no stretch of imagination extend to the presidential election which at any rate was not an issue contemplated for determination by the trial and appellate court.

Shut up!! You don't have any moral right to write to INEC which is presumed independent. And even you is supposed not be partisan, for you must be apolitical as a custodian of our constitution. It's sad that all the appointments this incongruous and lifeless person at the helm of country's affairs are nitwits who don't know their onions.

He has no such powers.....simple

At these kind of times there will be concocted orders in the name of presidency to deceive the gullible. INEC should stand firm
Apc are bunch of scammers

PDP keep dishing out false information to their supporters, who swallow it like a bait.

The day of reckoning is here upon you guys.

FeBuhari 16th 2019, here we come....

Ah! Bros, so u know who? Well, I no call person name o

Is he the AGF of Nigeria or APC because i don't get it?

Have you advised Buhari to obey the valid court orders that asked him to release Dasuki and El Zakzaky?

God is the only person that made apc not to field candidates in both zamfara and Rivers.

This country is just cursed with shemeless unrepentant deceitful leaders

I have said it before and I want to reiterate that this AGF( Abubakar Malami) or whatever they call him, is not fit to be a customary court president. How can a SAN be ignorant of the fact that he is not supposed to meddle in partisan matters even as an AGF? This is what you get when an all round stark illiterate gets to power.

Who the hell are you to instruct Inec at this crucial time. Very partisan and unprofessional lawyer. Have you now become the court of law that interprets court orders.

buhari asked for one billion dollars to buy weapons for our soldiers. But our soldiers are now releasing videos expressing the fact that they have no sophisticated weapons to fight with. They said they have no weapon to match that of Boko Haram. So, we don't know what Buhari has done with the one billion dollars. For months now, we have been asking him to explain. His failures to provide adequate weapons for our soldiers has left too many of our soldiers dead.
And what shall we say about the herdsmen that have been killing people during the Buhari time? I believe that the biggest fail of this administration is having no regard for human life. It's like they are not even moved. At least 20,000 people that didn't have to die have died under Buhari's watch. Several towns and villages have been completely wiped out by herdsmen in Nigeria and Buhari has refused to declare these herdsmen as terrorists. He declared IPOB as terrorists in 2017 even though they did not kill anybody. If the herdsmen were not fulanis like himself, a lot of people believe he would have declared them as terrorists. But he has refused to. These herdmen displaced more than 80,000 people in Benue state alone.

If only Malami could ask himself were his predecessor is presently. Adoke tenure didn't even have much criss like his. Malami's learned colleagues are even disenchanted are happy with several of his misconducts.

This is just a damage control on his own side.

You better go and bet on who will win this election.
