The lawmaker representing Ilaje/Ese-Odo Federal Constituency of Ondo State, Donald Ojogo, has slammed former Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, over his criticism of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, for endorsing President Bola Tinubu for a second term amid national hardship.

DAILY POST reports that Malami, speaking at a meeting of the National Political Consultative Group (North) in Abuja, had accused the APC of neglecting critical national issues while endorsing Tinubu for the 2027 elections.

“Just a few days ago, the ruling party held its national summit and, instead of tackling pressing issues like insecurity, economic hardship, and rising poverty, it chose to focus on politics by endorsing President Tinubu for re-election, even though the election is still two years away,” Malami stated.

Responding swiftly in a statement, Ojogo described Malami’s remarks as hypocritical and mischievous.

“As a federal lawmaker, I speak not on behalf of the Presidency nor as a party spokesperson, but I cannot ignore Malami’s audacious mischief, especially considering his controversial role during the Buhari administration.

“Malami’s comments are laughably hypocritical. If he assumes Nigerians have forgotten his actions as AGF, he underestimates our memory. His tenure was riddled with contradictions to the very principles he now pretends to defend,” Ojogo said.

The federal lawmaker also accused Malami of being a major obstacle to security efforts in the South-West during his time in office, particularly under the late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu’s administration in Ondo State, where he (Ojogo) served as Commissioner for Information and Orientation.

According to him, but for the boldness of Akeredolu and other Southern governors who ignored Malami’s objections, the spate of kidnappings and killings in the region would have worsened.

He further blasted Malami’s opposition to state police and what he described as his jaundiced view of federalism.

North is really trying to draw tinubu out into the ring by force
Tinubu wants to keep pretending he is friends with them
They keep throwing jabs to make Tinubu come out in public but Tinubu is too scared to call them out by their names just cos of some million votes
Is this not the Buhari CPC gang?

Ddeliverer007:

Another flight of fantasy from those people from the other side. You developers are a comical bunch. Someone said you will just think up something in your head and start celebrating it as reality. Remember "hahaha ha Tulumbu will never win the APC plimalies". Lolz.

Brenbentondiaz:
Emefiele is being persecuted because he is igbo, and it is easy to bully you igbos because you are 3rd class citizens. You can't do anything about it than wail and make noise, because you're loud cowards. And you're irrelevant. That is why it is easy to pick on you.

Agbegbaorogboye:
Ojogo didn't tell us the hypocritical part of Malami's stance

Brenbentondiaz:
You can se school no be scam. Comprehension problems, or just generally dyslexic? Lemme help you; Malady (or what is his name) complained about insecurity under Tinubu. Ojogo called him out for his hypocrisy by recalling the time he (Malady) was kicking against the measures being put in place by Southwest govs at the time to tackle the insecurity being brought to the SW by Malady's brothers. Is this summary clear, or you may get a 5 year old kid in your area to read and break it down to you?
