PDP Addresses Concerns Over Pantami's Exclusion from Gombe Governorship Candidates List

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) has publicly expressed its concerns regarding the absence of Dr. Isa Pantami from the list of candidates for the Gombe State governorship election. This revelation comes in light of a court-ordered repeat primary election conducted on September 29, which was closely monitored by officials from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

According to party spokesperson Mr. Dukku, the omission is particularly alarming given the legal and procedural frameworks that should have ensured the inclusion of all eligible candidates. The party believes that this oversight could have significant implications for its campaign strategy as the elections approach.

Dr. Pantami, who has previously served as Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, is a prominent figure within the PDP and his exclusion raises questions about the integrity of the electoral process. The party is seeking clarity on the matter and is committed to resolving the issue swiftly to ensure that all party members are adequately represented.

The PDP is determined to address this situation and uphold the democratic principles that guide our electoral processes. We will take necessary actions to rectify this omission and ensure that our candidates are fairly listed.

This development has sparked discussions within political circles in Gombe, with many observers urging the party to act decisively to rectify any discrepancies before the elections. With the political landscape shifting rapidly, the PDP’s response will be crucial in shaping its prospects in the upcoming gubernatorial race.
