I don't believe this.


Someone can't be so foolish like this in 2026.
He sold his house for APC, what about me that sold an Airport with 90 jombo jets


May God help us all.

Ambode, the simp
Zero balls.

Unfortunately, he's a goner in APC. No amount of bootlicking can get him back to the good books of the kingmakers again.

They trusted a pure technocrat like you with the number one seat of a state like Lagos. The politicians played the game, got you installed. In barely 4years, you felt you could challenge them. You failed, then still expect them to trust you again. Isn't that jazz?

Fight that should have been a total one. Once he lost APC ticket that year, he should have sought PDP's ticket even if it meant him resigning or being impeached since he couldn't win a reasonable number of the members of the Assembly to his side in good 4years. The worst outcome is same as what eventually happened. He could have gotten pity votes, support from Tinubu's enemies in Buhari's cabinet, his fellow governors, PDP etc. Even if he would lose, he would have done so after putting up a good fight. His chances of winning was definitely not zero. He didn't put up any fight. Weak man!

He should better join ADC or NDC so that when/if they win, the juice will reach him.

Tinubu appoints his son's stepmother, its all a family affair, nothing concern us

Woman wey sabi play her politics without ethnic or historical emotions.
TINUBU just dey respect and honor her for a loyalty despite the ethnic pressure on her.

No Be Juju Be Dat?

Bluntguy:
Nothing new. She has acted more in that capacity before now. So naming her for the post is just mere formality.

ogascomax:
Na English you dey speak they called graft. It's what is called lobbying in the US. People pay lobbyists as this government did just to fight the genocide campaign from the US.

ogascomax:
Make them put you as minister in that position you go make billions. I am not talking about stealing. You will see people that wants favourable contracts or some favour from the government doing things for you.
That was something first lady's do get a lots. Money gift. Senator Remi Tinubu made billions of naira in her last birthday. You dey play with people at the top.

i think not. not legitimately. even at 1million a month salary, that's 96million in 8 years. even if you add allowances, not sure.
The man is a case study in corruption.
nigeria too good if na true. government positions all the way

keemsleek:
Haa is that possible pls to earn such money has a minister?

CuteTj:
He said he earned 374.6 million and not billions as a minister between 2015 - 2023. The billions he said he earned was in his capacity as a private citizen outside his office.

Tareq1105:
57 properties?

Malami thinks we don't know how they withdraw Assets Declaration Form to amend the list of Assets.

Does he think we don't know how he bought properties seized by EFCC through his nephew?

read first,not to rush to comment.Na your type dey say "school na

To prove it, the former AGF laid out N15.5 billion in “lawful income” earned between 2015 and 2023. That included N374.6 million as AGF salary and allowances,

Oya, you fit earn millions legitimately as a minister

this man was earning billions as a minister

The move came after Justice Emeka Nwite granted EFCC an interim forfeiture order on January 6, 2026, in Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/20/2026.
The order temporarily handed the commission control of houses, hotels, schools, factories, and plots of land across Abuja, Kano, and Kebbi.
EFCC’s ex parte motion claimed the assets were “reasonably suspected to be proceeds of unlawful activities”.

Malami’s sworn response, however, stated that it was not true.

“There is no prima facie evidence,” the affidavit read, insisting every property was bought with legitimate funds and declared to the Code of Conduct Bureau long before the EFCC move. [b]To prove it, the former AGF laid out N15.5 billion in “lawful income” earned between 2015 and 2023. That included N374.6 million as AGF salary and allowances, N10.01 billion business turnover, N3.52 billion in bank loans, N958 million in wedding gifts, and N509.8 million from two book launches.

Companies named included Rayhaan Hotels, Zeennoor Hotels, Meethaq Hotels, Rayhaan Bustan Agro Allied, Azbir Arena, and Rayhaan University. He accused EFCC of inflating values to “mislead the court”.

A Maitama duplex the commission valued at N5.95 billion was bought for N500 million, Malami said, add-ing that Rayhaan University’s permanent site, pegged at N56 billion by EFCC, had receipts showing N150 million, while an independent valuation by Jide Taiwo & Co was attached to back his figures. Malami tendered four CCB asset declaration forms from 2015, 2019, and 2023, arguing that the disputed properties were already on record before the case began.

He also said six assets, including Rayhaan Hotel, Kano, and Malami Support Organisation Building, were acquired between 2006 and 2013 — before he became minister. The affidavit took a personal turn when Malami said armed EFCC operatives evicted his family from six Abuja homes on March 24, 2026, without a final forfeiture order. “My wives and children, who are minors, were chased out,” he stated, and added that title documents were seized during his 25-day detention in December 2025.

The interim order might have started to hit his businesses already. For instance, NEXIM Bank recalled a N1.122 billion loan to Rayhaan Bustan Agro Allied days after the court ruling, the affidavit said. Zenith Bank, which guaranteed the facility, also began charging daily interest on the balance, it added. Malami also addressed the criminal angle. The forfeiture, he stated, leaned on Charge No. FHC/CR/700/2025, where he had pleaded not guilty. “Allegations are being contested and not determined,” he wrote.

On four Abuja properties tied to businessman Abdulrahman Musa Bashir, Malami said they stemmed from pre-2015 legal and business deals, later settled by set-off. Another property, he claimed, belonged to his late father’s estate and was held in trust for other heirs. The court had directed any interested party to “show cause” why the assets shouldn’t be permanently forfeited to the federal government. “I have fully accounted for ownership and lawful source of funds,” Malami’s affidavit concluded. Nwite is expected to set a hearing date to decide whether to lift the interim order or make it final. For now, the hotels, schools, and mansions remained in EFCC’s custody. Outside the court, Malami’s lead counsel, J.B. Daudu, SAN, told reporters that the interim order was “based on speculation, not evidence”. EFCC declined comment on the new filings.

He also urged them to pursue foreign investments and strengthen strategic partnerships.
