I’m Not Planning To Leave Nigeria, I’ll Attend Wedding Ceremony In Kano Today- Malami
Former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, has described as untrue media reports that he ‘is on the run’ and also planning to leave Nigeria to seek a safe haven in other countries.
‘I have not been invited by the EFCC or any other anti-corruption agency in Nigeria. I’m available in Nigeria and attending a wedding Fatiha slated for 2.30 pm at Sheikh Isiyaka Rabi’u Mosque, Kano, tomorrow (today).
I have no plan of leaving Nigeria and I will gladly honour any invitation extended to me by any agency of government. I’m a true Nigerian and I believe in the Nigerian project.
I will make myself available to Nigeria and its institutions on demand’ he submitted on Thursday night.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned that former Aviation Minister, Hadi Sirika and the spokesman for EFCC , Wilson Uwujaren, have however disagreed over the issue of the former senator’s invitation by the anti-graft agency.
Former Senator Hadi Sirka also noted that his visit to Bawa’s office before his suspension as EFCC Chairman had nothing to do with being invited for questioning.
‘Well, maybe they invited me in their imagination, but what I do know is that I had gone to see the former chairman (Bawa) last week, and I have not received any invitation. If they want to invite me, I’m here.
I did not get any invitation from the EFCC, Oga, that’s what I said to you. I have not been invited. If I’m invited, it is not any news or no news; I can go whenever I’m invited.
If they invite me today, I will appear. I was a public officer and I am accountable for my actions. Public officers are accountable for their actions. If I’m invited by the EFCC, I will go. I’ve not seen any invitation. I am in my house, and I’m based in Abuja, not Kaduna, and they are also here in Abuja’ he said.
Wilson Uwujaren however asserted that the former Aviation minister was actually invited for questioning in respect of how he handled the Nigerian Air project.
‘Yes, that’s what I am telling you, he was invited. I can confirm that there is an ongoing investigation in that regard. I won’t speak further until he confirms his invitation’ he reportedly told a reporter on Thursday-Team@orientactualmags.com
