Abubakar Malami speaks about the controversial withdrawal of corruption charges against former Gombe State governor, Danjuma Goje, that was widely viewed as political rather than in public interest.
PT: It is almost eight years since you became the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice. What is your assessment of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led anti-corruption battle which your office is pivotal to?: It depends on the way and manner you want to look at it. But by and large, from whatever perspective you look at it, the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari has been a success story.
So, the point is we understand the problems and we have the answers as to how best the problems can be addressed by way of addressing the same through legislative framework, political will and deploying the political tools necessary for the success of our efforts in tackling corruption. The simple question is whether what the government of President Muhammadu Buhari has been doing over time are things that are recognised by the rule of law principles, and my answer is yes.
The answer is for you to look at the prevailing circumstances to assess the prevailing circumstances within the context and parameters of public interest and arrive at a decision as to whether what was done by the Attorney-General, in case he has taken any steps over the case of Danjuma Goje, is within the context of the public interest or not.
