Khamisu Ahmed Mailantarki, a gubernatorial aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Gombe State, has declared himself the winner of the party's rerun primary election. According to Mailantarki, Isa Ali Pantami, who was declared the winner of the primary, is not eligible to contest due to a Supreme Court judgement.
Mailantarki claims that Pantami was still a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) when the PDP screening committee cleared them to contest in the primary election. He believes that, based on the Supreme Court judgement, he should be considered the winner of the primary election since he came second.
Mailantarki has vowed to reclaim his mandate, even if it means going to court. He expressed his readiness to take the matter to the Supreme Court if necessary. Daily Trust reports that Mailantarki's previous suit led to the nullification of Pantami's previous victory.
