The Inter‑Party Advisory Council (IPAC) in Nigeria’s Yobe State has dismissed both its chairman and its secretary, citing allegations of mismanagement and a lack of transparency, according to a report by Punch Nigeria.
The council’s decision was taken after members raised concerns that the two officials had failed to provide clear accounts of council activities and finances. The allegations prompted a vote among IPAC members, resulting in the removal of the chairman and secretary from their posts.
IPAC serves as a coordinating body for political parties in the state, aiming to promote cooperation, resolve disputes, and ensure fair electoral processes. Its leadership is expected to uphold standards of accountability and openness in managing the council’s affairs.
The sacking may affect the council’s ability to function smoothly in the run‑up to upcoming elections, as Yobe State prepares for future political contests. Party leaders and stakeholders are likely to monitor how the council fills the vacant positions and restores confidence among its members.
No further details on the identities of the dismissed officials or the specific nature of the alleged mismanagement have been released, and the council has not announced a timeline for appointing replacements.
