Abubakar Malami, attorney-general of the federation (AGF) and justice minister, is seeking Kebbi governorship seat.

Pauline Tallen, minister of women affairs, is seeking a senatorial seat; Uche Ogar, minister of state for mines and steel, is pursuing a governorship bid.

Buhari’s directive is coming on the heels of the contentious section 84(12) of the electoral act.

The section provides that: “No political appointee at any level shall be a voting delegate or be voted for at the convention or congress of any political party for the purpose of the nomination of candidates for any election.”

The president asked the national assembly to delete the section but the legislature refused to.
