Malami disclosed this to State House Correspondents on Wednesday after the weekly virtual Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami has said efforts are ongoing to obey the instruction of the court to his office to delete Section 84 of the Electoral Act.Last Wednesday, the AGF, Malami said following the Senate’s refusal, the Nigerian government would consider all other options available to it before a position will be taken.

Two days later, Friday, a court sitting in Umuahia, Abia State, ordered the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation to immediately delete Section 84 of the Amended New Electoral Act.The court in a judgment delivered by Justice Evelyn Anyadike on Friday held that the section was unconstitutional, invalid, illegal, null, void and of no effect whatsoever and cannot stand as it violates the clear provisions of the Constitution.

Malami is said to be interested in becoming Kebbi governor; Nwajiuba is being projected by the Project Nigeria Group for the presidency; Ngige says he is consulting on running for president; Akpabio has received the backing of the Godswill Akpabio Uncommon Transformational Support Organisation ; the Southern Mandate Group and Chibuike Amaechi Crusaders 2023 want the transportation minister to succeed Buhari.
