Pantami's Supporters Urged to Stay Calm After INEC Omission
The spokesperson for the Pantamiyya Movement, Professor Suleiman Mohammed, called for calm among supporters of former Communications Minister, Professor Isa Pantami, following the omission of Pantami and the Peoples Democratic Party from the Independent National Electoral Commission's published list of governorship candidates in Gombe State. Mohammed characterized the omission as a temporary challenge, stating it should not be viewed as a final determination of Pantami's political future.
He encouraged members of the PDP and the Pantamiyya Movement to remain hopeful as the electoral process unfolds. The statement acknowledged that Pantami's name was missing despite his emergence as the PDP governorship candidate in a fresh primary election held on September 29.
This primary was necessitated by an order from the Federal High Court in Gombe, which required another exercise to determine the party's candidate for the 2027 governorship election. The statement did not outline any specific steps to address the omission.
