N627bn revenue: Kebbi government and Malami camp clash over alleged financial mismanagement

Ahead of the 2027 general elections, the management of Kebbi State’s finances has become a major political issue. The Kebbi ADC demands an account of funds received between May 2023 and October 2025, totaling 627.14 billion nairas, and challenges the government to provide detailed financial records. The state government denies mismanagement, stating that projected revenue should not be confused with actual funds received. The controversy has escalated into a political dispute involving the ADC, the state government, and the ruling APC, which also questions the financial records of former Attorney-General Abubakar Malami, who supports the ADC in the upcoming election.
