The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Gombe State has decided to reschedule the governorship primary election. The party has cleared three aspirants - Professor Isa Ali Pantami, Khamisu Ahmed Mailantarki, and Usman Aliyu Garry - to participate in the rerun election. This decision comes after a Federal High Court in Gombe nullified the previously held primary election.
On Friday, the State Publicity Secretary of the party, Abdulkadir Ahmed Dukku, announced the rescheduled date for the primary election as Tuesday, 29th September, 2026. The party stated that they respected the court's decision, which validated the membership and entry procedures of Pantami into the PDP. They also urged all members, supporters, and stakeholders to remain calm, peaceful, and united while the party leadership and contestants study the legal implications of the judgment.
Dukku advised party members against speculating and making inflammatory statements that could create tension, assuring that the party would take necessary legal steps to protect its interests and preserve its democratic integrity.
