Former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Dr. Abubakar Chika Malami, has strongly refuted claims made by associates of Senator Tanko Al-Makura that the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) bloc has endorsed President Bola Tinubu’s administration and ruled out defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Speaking through his media aide, Muhammed Bello Doka, Malami emphasized that only loyalists of the CPC political ideology, founded under former President Muhammadu Buhari, have the legitimacy to speak on the bloc’s current position.

“When you talk about the CPC bloc, one must ask — who are you referring to? Is it individuals like Senator Tanko Al-Makura, Adamu Adamu, Aminu Bello Masari, and Farouk Adamu Aliyu — the same people who have, in recent times, thrown Buhari under the bus in their desperate quest for political relevance?” Doka questioned.

He asserted that any pronouncement by the group is purely personal and self-serving, bearing no official connection to the CPC bloc.

“Their statement is not reflective of the CPC base; it is a strategic attempt to remain politically relevant within a party structure that they never genuinely owned,” he added.

Malami Reacts to Defection Rumours

Addressing the rumours of Malami’s alleged defection to the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Doka described such claims as "figments of imagination", insisting that Malami remains a member of the APC.

“Dr. Malami is a notable political figure in Nigeria and would not defect secretly. He is still within the APC, although he is in ongoing consultations across several political platforms,” Doka clarified.

He stated that until consultations are concluded, any talk of defection or political declaration is premature.

“He remains very active in politics and, at the appropriate time, will communicate his next steps. He retains every constitutional right to associate with any political party or to contest for any position in Kebbi State or nationally,” the statement concluded.

Malami, a failed Attorney General of the Federation under Buhari has no street credibility.
He's just overrating himself.

Bobloco:
Malami and the current AGF, Fagbemi, seem to be in a rat race over who is the bigger failure as Attorney General of the Federation.
In my opinion, Fagbemi is the biggest failure

Wen malami still in gov, every attempt to stop Tinubu and surported SENATE PRESIDENT failed, is it now that he is powerless that he would shake Tinubu?
