“Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami has not resigned,” the statement read.
“He withdrew his ambition to contest for the 2023 Kebbi State Gubernatorial Elections,” it added.
Mr Malami said his decision to dump his governorship ambition was a “commendable posture worthy of admiration coming from a paragon of virtue.”
