The Independent National Electoral Commission had banned Rivers State chapter of the APC from fielding candidates in the last elections, because of the party's inability to solve its internal crisis and submit candidates’ list before INEC’s deadline. The opposition party also accused Malami of mounting pressure on Justice Tanko Mohammed, the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria , to effect the reversal.
However, the AGF denied the allegation, stating that: “Regarding what was levelled against me by the PDP, I think it remains an accusation. It has to remain so until proven through a judicial process. But, for me, I think it is freedom of speech that has been taken too far.”
That too much freedom of speech was what advantages you APC into power and now, you are in government needed to remove that freedom so that it will be easier to cripple whoever dare to speak out. Lord save my dear Nigeria in hands of autocratic people
