The Yobe State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has refunded N1 million paid to a member after an Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) meeting related to the recently concluded local government elections. The party claims the funds were deposited into an individual's account on September 22, 2026, during the meeting at the Special Adviser to the Yobe State Government on Inter-Party Affairs, Abdu Mamman Zoto's office.
In a statement, the ADC's State Secretary, Mamu Alhaji Muhammad, explained that the representative at the meeting lacked authorization from the party's leadership. The ADC's Disciplinary Committee investigated the matter, confirming the N1 million had been deposited into the individual's account. The party subsequently compelled the individual to return the funds, directing their return to the state government's account.
The ADC also criticized the local government elections, labeling them as lacking "the basic tenets of democracy and due process" and alleging they were "a skewed charade orchestrated to install friends and cronies."
