Gombe APC Leaders Defect to PDP, Back Pantami for 2027
Hon. Ibrahim Adamu Muhammad, known as Uban Dawakin Gombe, and Alhaji Auwalu Alhassan, also referred to as Chiburosi, have defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Gombe State ahead of the 2027 governorship election. Muhammad is a former Deputy Chairman of Gombe Local Government Council, while Alhassan previously served as Chairman of the Groundnut Oil Millers Association of Gombe State.
Their defection was announced in a statement from the Pantamiyya Movement, signed by Prof. Suleiman Mohammed. The two politicians expressed their support for the PDP governorship candidate, Prof. Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, citing his leadership experience, integrity, and governance knowledge as key factors in their decision.
The Pantamiyya Movement stated that their entry into the PDP would enhance the party's structure and Pantami's political movement in Gombe State, representing a significant boost for the PDP and its leadership under former Gombe State Governor, Senator Ibrahim Hasmobilizationo.
