Hamma Saleh Leaves PDP for APC Ahead of 2027 Elections
Hamma Saleh, who contested the PDP governorship ticket against Professor Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, announced his resignation from the PDP and his decision to join the APC in a press release made available to journalists in Gombe. He called on his supporters across Gombe State to join him in supporting the APC's candidates at all levels of government.
This defection occurs amid significant political realignments in Gombe State as parties and aspirants consolidate their positions ahead of the 2027 general elections. Saleh's move is particularly notable due to the ongoing disputes surrounding the PDP governorship ticket, which included a court challenge to Pantami's initial primary election and a subsequent rerun.
His departure from the PDP may further influence political dynamics in the state as the opposition party faces internal challenges leading up to the elections.
