‘My Friends At Home And Abroad Donated The Exotic Vehicles’ – Malami
- says workers in the Khadimiyya Foundation are the beneficiaries
Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), has reacted to controversies trailing the donation of multi-billion naira Mercedes-Benz and other exotic vehicles distributed to some of his supporters in Kebbi ahead the governorship primary in the state.
BIGPENNGR.COM reports that the donation had generated flurry of reactions on social media with some respondents saying it was plot to buy votes during the Kebbi governorship election.
Malami had few days ago declared his intention to contest the Kebbi governorship election.
Gwandu said, “It is abundantly clear that the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN has teaming supporters from home and beyond.
“This has been demonstrated not only by the calls from far and near for him to vie for Kebbi gubernatorial seat in the forthcoming election but also by donations from friends, associates and supporters of N135m.
“The recent donation of N135m has opened doors for donations and supports of many items including vehicles by well-wishers.
“The story attributing vehicle distribution to Malami was mischievous and misconstrued information. It was friends and associates of Malami who donated and distributed vehicles to long term workers in the Khadimiyya Foundation.
“The occasion was not for distribution of vehicles to any APC stakeholder. None of the APC stakeholders or delegates in Kebbi State was given any vehicle by Malami.
“You can contact the National Secretariat of the APC, get the lists of all the APC stakeholders and delegates in Kebbi State. Do an investigative story to reach out to them then you realised how fictitious is the claim.
“Comparing the names of APC stakeholders and the beneficiaries of the vehicle will reveal to you that there is no connection between the two and the two are not connected whatsoever.”
