ABUJA – Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Alhaji Abubakar Malami, SAN, has described as false report alleging that there was a secret memo emanating from his office to the Presidency.
In a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media, Dr. Umar Jibrilu Gwandu, the AGF urged the public to disregard the media report.
“Malami remains a true democrat who believes in rules of law and tenant of democracy and Constitutional order.
“The Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice is a constitutionally recognised one with its role and responsibilities embedded in the constitution.
“It is antithetical to common sense to think that the holder of such coveted Office as the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice will stoop to what was printed by the media.
“The Government does not operate in secrecy as it is not a clandestine operation. Hence, Malami discharges his constitutionally recognized mandates in compliance with principles of transparency, openness and accountability.“
