On Thursday, the Gombe Federal High Court issued a landmark ruling that nullifies Prof. Isa Ali Pantami's PDP governorship ticket in Gombe State. The court ordered the party to hold a fresh primary election, aligning with party guidelines and electoral laws. This decision emerged from a lawsuit filed by Usman Aliyu Garry, who contested Pantami's emergence as the sole candidate.
Garry accused the party of bypassing the mandatory primary election. Pantami, previously an All Progressives Congress aspirant, switched parties after the APC selected Jamilu Gwamna as its consensus candidate. Despite securing the ticket through voice affirmation in a May primary, Pantami's candidacy was challenged, leading to the court's decisive order for a new primary election in Gombe State.
