Abubakar Malami, a former Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, has resigned from the ruling All Progressives Congress APC and joined the African Democratic Congress ADC.
The ex-minister announced his defection in a statement titled To the Good People of Kebbi and Fellow Nigerians, and released on Wednesday.
He said he dumped the ruling party after wide consultations and deep personal reflection.
Malami said his defection to the ADC was not driven by personal ambition or anger, but by love for our nation and concern for the hardship our people are facing daily.
