Pantami Unveils Job Creation Plans at Gombe PDP Rally

At a rally in Gombe, Professor Isa Ali Pantami, the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), promised to address poverty, create jobs, and support various groups including farmers, youths, and women if elected governor in 2027. Pantami received the PDP governorship flag from the party’s National Chairman, Abdurrahman Muhammad, marking the official presentation of his candidacy.

He stated that his administration would focus on the welfare of residents, emphasizing employment creation and economic empowerment. Pantami committed to providing support to farmers and local contractors, ensuring that contracts would be awarded to local businesses.

He stressed the importance of managing Gombe's resources responsibly, asserting that they should benefit the residents rather than a select few. The rally was attended by notable PDP figures, including former Gombe State Governor Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo (Gombe North) and Senator Anthony Siyako Yaro (Gombe South), among others.

Pantami's emergence as the candidate follows a recent reinstatement after his name was initially omitted from the Independent National Electoral Commission’s candidate list.
