Malami Denies Plot To Subvert Nigerian Constitution For Buhari’s Alleged Third Team Bid
The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN has denied media reports of alleged plot to suspend the Nigerian Constitution.
BIGPENNGR reports that the media has been awash with reports that Malami wrote a memo to President Buhari to suspend the country’s Constitution for possibly martial law.
The report alleged the moves may be a plot by the cabal in the presidency to elongate the tenure of President Buhari beyond 2023.
But a statement by Dr. Umar Jibrilu Gwandu, (Special Assistant on Media and Public Relations, Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice), said that the claim that there was a secret memo emanating from the Office to the Presidency was false and fictitious report.
The statement reads: “The attention of the Office of the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN has been drawn to a false and fictitious report alleging that there was a secret memo emanating from the Office to the Presidency.
“General publics are hereby asked to disregard the media report as fabrications of anti-constitutional democratic stability in Nigeria.
“Malami remains a true democrat who believes in rules of law and tenant of democracy and Constitutional order.
“The Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice is a constitutionally recognised one with its role and responsibilities embedded in the constitution.
“It is antithetical to common sense to think that the holder of such coveted Office as the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice will stoop to what was printed by the media.
“The Government does not operate in secrecy as it is not a clandestine operation. Hence, Malami discharges his constitutionally recognized mandates in compliance with principles of transparency, openness and accountability”, the statement added.
