APC Denies PDP's Allegations of Fake Membership Cards

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Gombe State has rejected claims made by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that it is responsible for the alleged production of fake membership cards in anticipation of the PDP's rerun governorship primary. This primary is set for September 29, 2026, following a Federal High Court ruling on September 24, 2026, which annulled the previous primary that had selected Professor Isa Ali Pantami as the PDP's candidate.

Murtala Usman Wuro Tale, the APC State Publicity Secretary, stated that the APC had no involvement in the PDP's membership processes or its primary elections. He characterized the PDP's claims of approximately 20,000 fake membership cards as unfounded and urged the PDP to manage its internal issues independently.

Tale emphasized that the APC-led government, under Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, is focused on state administration and development rather than interfering in opposition matters. He advised the PDP to provide any evidence of alleged fraud to law enforcement instead of making media allegations.
