The Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) in Yobe State has removed its Chairman Umaru Adamu Jajere and Secretary Mustapha Mohammed Gado, replacing them with Acting Chairman Mukhtar Audu Hassan and Acting Secretary Habiba Umaru. This decision came after a vote of no confidence during an emergency council meeting on Thursday, November 5, 2026.
The council accused the ousted leaders of lacking transparency, failing to consult member political parties, making unilateral decisions, and mismanaging resources. They also alleged the diversion of funds to personal benefit. The former leaders were told to stop representing the council and return all official materials. The acting officers pledged to run an open, transparent administration and called for unity and peaceful politics.
