Kebbi APC Challenges ADC Over Malami’s Alleged 48 Properties

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kebbi State has challenged the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to explain allegations that former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, owns 48 properties in the state.

The APC said the allegation, which has been linked to Malami’s political activities and recent movement within the opposition camp, should be clarified by the ADC.

The party questioned the source of the claim and demanded that the ADC provide details of the alleged properties and explain the basis for associating them with Malami.

The APC’s position comes amid heightened political activities in Kebbi State ahead of the 2027 general elections, with the ADC seeking to strengthen its structure and attract prominent politicians.

Malami, a former minister who hails from Kebbi State, has become a prominent figure in opposition political realignments ahead of the 2027 elections.

The APC urged the ADC to focus on issues affecting residents of the state rather than making what it described as unsubstantiated allegations against political opponents.

The ruling party maintained that claims involving ownership of properties should be backed by verifiable evidence and subjected to appropriate scrutiny.

It also called on relevant authorities and members of the public to examine the allegations objectively rather than relying on political claims and counterclaims.

The development comes as political parties intensify their campaigns and mobilisation across Kebbi State, with the APC and ADC among the parties positioning themselves for a stronger showing in the 2027 elections.

The controversy over the alleged properties is likely to add another dimension to the growing political contest in the state, particularly as opposition parties continue efforts to win influential figures and supporters ahead of the election.

The APC’s challenge puts the burden on the ADC and those behind the allegation to provide evidence capable of substantiating the claim, as political parties increasingly turn attention to accountability, transparency and the records of public figures ahead of the 2027 polls.
