National Leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, says every donation to the party must be domiciled in party’s bank account.

Speaking at the party’s stakeholder’s meeting, Dickson said no party official, including himself can spend the party’s money.

He said he wants the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to audit the party’s account according to the law, adding that they don’t want individuals to use the party’s money to buy private houses and new cars.

“We direct that every donation should go into the party’s designated account so that it can be audited and handled by INEC that has the power to audit it when necessary.

“We’ll even tell the public so that people who are donating to support will know that the money will not be spent by the chairman or national leader or secretary.

“I was in parties, we raised money for party. Before you know, you would hear that there’s no money again. We don’t want NDC to follow that road. So people should bear with us. These are the systems we are creating,” he said.

A governorship aspirant of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Adamawa State, Ishaya Durkwa, has sued the party as well as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), seeking the cancellation of the governorship primary he was said to have lost.

Durkwa is before the Federal High Court sitting in Yola, urging the court to restrain the declared winner of the primary, Omar Suleiman, from parading himself as the party’s gubernatorial candidate for 2027.

Omar was declared winner of the primary election, which was held on May 23, 2026, and has since been recognised as the ADC gubernatorial candidate.

In the suit, in which he joined the ADC, INEC and Omar Suleiman as defendants, Durkwa is alleging violations of the Electoral Act, citing a process he claims was not free and fair.

He is praying for an order nullifying both the said primary election and the declaration of Omar as winner.

He is further asking for an order directing the ADC to conduct a fresh governorship primary election for Adamawa State in compliance with Sections 84 and 86 of the Electoral Act

It said the emergence is a mark of earned trust and deep confidence in his leadership abilities.

“We party welcomed the announcement made by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, during the plenary earlier today.

“Agbedi is a trustworthy, firm, irrepressible and principled politician, who responds only to conviction, not convenience,” the statement said.
