Former Communications and Digital Economy Minister, Prof. Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, has been removed from the final list of governorship candidates for the upcoming election in Gombe State, announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The final list, consisting of 16 candidates, does not include Pantami, who was initially on the provisional list released on August 29.
This development echoes a similar situation in Ogun State, where the names of PDP governorship candidate Ladi Adebutu and his running mate have also been omitted from INEC’s final candidate roster. The remaining candidates on the final list for Gombe State include Bala Bello Tinka from the African Democratic Congress, Jamilu Isyaku Gwamna from the All Progressives Congress, and Babayo Ardo Kumo from the Nigerian Democratic Congress, among others.
