The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Gombe State has suspended two of its gubernatorial candidates, Khamisu Ahmed Mailantarki and Usman Aliyu Garry, for alleged anti-party activities. This decision came after an emergency meeting between the State Working Committee and ward executives of Mailantarki's and Garry's respective wards.
The party accused the candidates of gross misconduct and violating the party's constitution, claiming their actions could cause division among supporters. The two aspirants had declared victory in a recent primary, a claim the PDP deemed unacceptable. Despite voluntarily participating in the primary, they engaged in activities deemed contrary to the party's rules.
As a result, the PDP suspended them for one month and referred the matter to their Disciplinary Committee.
