The African Democratic Congress governorship candidate in Kebbi State, Abubakar Malami, has urged members of the party to remain united ahead of the 2027 general elections, stressing that no political ambition is worth causing division.
Malami, a former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, spoke during the inauguration of the 600-member ADC Campaign Council in Kebbi State.
He called on party members to resolve their differences through dialogue and reconciliation, warning against allowing political disagreements to damage relationships within the party and the state.
“Where there are disagreements, let us reconcile. Where there are grievances, let us listen. When there’s doubt, let’s work to restore faith. Our diversity must become our strength,” He said.

The former AGF stressed that despite differences in political ambitions and affiliations, members of the party remained united by a common purpose.
“Different candidates, one ADC. Different communities, one Kebbi State. Different responsibilities, one common purpose,” he said.
Malami urged aggrieved members to engage one another and seek peaceful solutions rather than allowing disagreements to degenerate into public confrontations.
He noted that political contests were temporary, while the relationships among citizens would continue beyond the elections.
“After the elections, we will continue to worship together, go to the same markets, celebrate together, grieve together, and raise our children together. No political goal is worth breaking those relationships,” he said.
The ADC candidate called for cooperation among party members, urging them to prioritise the interests of Kebbi State and its people above personal ambitions.
“We choose unity over division. We choose cooperation over rivalry. We choose reconciliation over bitterness. We choose respect over insults. We choose to put service before our own interests,” Malami added.
