In Gombe State's PDP primary election, Khamisu Ahmed Mailantarki announced his victory, vowing to contest the result in court. The People's Democratic Party had initially declared Isa Ali Pantami the winner following a rerun primary conducted by a committee led by Hon. Johnbull Tiemlong Shekarau. Mailantarki stated that Pantami, who was still affiliated with the APC when cleared by the PDP screening committee, should not have been allowed to participate in the election.
According to Mailantarki, if Pantami is ineligible, he should have been the one to contest along with the third runner-up, Usman Aliyu Garry. Refusing to accept Pantami's victory, Mailantarki declared his readiness to pursue legal action to secure his claim to the primary election's outcome. The previous suit brought by Mailantarki led to the annulment of Pantami's initial win as a Federal High Court in Gombe required a fresh primary, which was held today.
