The immediate past Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, has urged his supporters in Kebbi State to refrain from making political statements capable of escalating tensions in the state.
In a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media, Mohammed Doka, Malami specifically warned musicians, influencers, and political supporters against using abusive language, mockery, or direct attacks on others, stressing that such behavior is unacceptable.
“I want to appeal to our teeming supporters to focus on issue-based discourse when engaging the public. Their statements should be constructive, not ones that could undermine our democracy and the unity of Nigeria,” the statement said.
Doka described Malami as a peace-loving and law-abiding citizen who would not support any actions or comments that could jeopardize the peace of Kebbi State.
Speculations have been circulating in Kebbi about Malami’s potential return to active politics, with suggestions that he may challenge the incumbent governor in the next election. Notably, Malami was instrumental in the governor’s rise to power, but the two are now seen as political rivals.
Some musicians and social media influencers loyal to Malami have recently begun using offensive language and veiled attacks online, prompting the former minister to issue the warning.
