The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, on Tuesday, said his friends and political associates donated N135m worth of vehicles in Kebbi State ahead of the 2023 election.

Malami is believed to be nursing a governorship ambition to succeed outgoing Governor Atiku Bagudu.

While addressing journalists in Birnin-Kebbi, the minister said he did not donate vehicles to any Kebbi State APC Excos or delegates.

Malami said the story attributing vehicle distribution to him was mischievous and misconstrued information.

This is coming amid reports and viral photos that the minister allegedly donated sports utility vehicles of assorted brands to APC politicians in Kebbi State.

“Recent donation of N135m has opened doors for donations and supports of many items including vehicles by well-wishers,” Malami said.

“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. I have not yet donated any vehicle to any delegate.
