“Our initial reaction to the treacherous post was to ignore it because It is a common knowledge to any discerning mind that such a post could not emanate from the highly-esteemed personality and enviably public office holder as the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice.
“It is instructive to note that fact-check conducted by some media organisations proved that attributing the derogatory post to Malami was not only defamatory but also fictitious as there was no iota of even any remote evidence to prove to the semblance of that.
“For the purposes of setting the record sraight and clearing any ambiguity caused by the disinforming post, let it be made abundantly clear that the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice did not write and had never contemplated on writing or posting such derogatory remarks or cast aspersions on any tribe or section of the multi-cultural and diverse communities in the country.
“Malami is known to be a patriotic Nigerian and non-tribal partisan who believes in equality, fairness and justice to all regardless of any inclination to tribe, location or gender.

“The grammatical flaws, apparent illogicalalities and divisionary tendencies as well as lack of respect to diversity in humanity make it palpably incongruous to believe that the post was from Malami.
“The office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice calls on the general public to disregard the post as it was created and circulated by mischief makers and perveyors of hatred who are bent on destroying the hard-earned reputation of the Minister,” the statement said.
