A political dispute has emerged in Kebbi over the suitability of former minister Abubakar Malami for the governorship, according to Punch Nigeria. The disagreement involves supporters of Governor Nasir Idris and Malami. An aide to Idris questioned whether the former minister should be considered for the state’s top political office.
The aide cited the forfeiture of 48 properties linked to Malami as part of the argument against his suitability. The source material does not provide further details about the properties, the circumstances of the forfeiture or the legal status of the matter. It also does not include a response from Malami or his supporters.
The report therefore establishes a dispute between the two political camps but gives no indication of how the disagreement may affect the governorship contest.
