ANALYSIS: 2023: Alleged plot to impose Malami as governorship candidate fueling Kebbi APC crisis

An alleged plan by Governor Atiku Badugu to impose the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, as the governorship candidate has been blamed for a crack in the All Progressives Congress in Kebbi State.

The Kebbi event was after President Muhammadu Buhari rejected the Bill because of the stipulation of direct primaries as the mandatory mode of nomination of candidates for elections. The National Assembly has now removed the clause to appease the president to assent to the Bill. While federal lawmakers mostly endorsed direct primaries, state governors prefer indirect primaries.

He said despite the agreement, the governor tampered with the list of the party’s executives. For instance, he said, in Argungu Local Government Area, the names of 101 party leaders were omitted, including the local government party chairman, secretary and treasurer. He said those omitted are loyalists of Mr Aliero.Mr Dododo said the development pushed the aggrieved leaders to the decision to open their own secretariat.

Mr Assalafiy said those executives who were replaced had issues with the party stakeholders at their levels and were replaced by their people and not on the order of the governor. Leaders in the camp said they opposed Mr Malami’s ambition he is from the same senatorial district and ‘Gwandu Emirate’ as Mr Bagudu. They want power to shift to another zone. The governor and Mr Malami are from Birnin Kebbi, the state capital.

In December, he told reporters ahead of the party congresses that: “because they knew I will not compromise, so they removed me to pave the way for what they did.”, Isma’il Kamba, and his deputy, Muhammadu Aliyu. The clerk of the house, Usman Ahmed, announced the impeachment after 20 out of the 24 members endorsed it. The lawmakers later elected Muhammad Lolo, member representing Bagudo West, and Muhammad Zuru, member Zuru constituency, as the new speaker and deputy respectively.

Kebbi North has six local government areas. Four of these are in Argungu Emirate, comprising Argungu, Augie, Arewa and Dandi. The other two, Bagudo and Suru, are in Gwandu Emirate. Based on the unofficial rotational arrangement, the 2023 governorship ticket should move to Kebbi South. This district has two emirates – Yauri and Zuru. It has not produced the state governor since 1999.
