2027: PDP condemns attack on Pantami’s supporters in Gombe

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has denounced violent attacks against its supporters at a homecoming rally for gubernatorial candidate Professor Isa Pantami in Gombe State. The opposition party warned that such acts of intimidation and violence would not prevent Pantami from winning the 2027 gubernatorial election. The statement from the party's National Publicity Secretary, Jungudo Mohammed, condemned the assaults on PDP supporters and the destruction of vehicles as barbaric and undemocratic.

The PDP called for a thorough investigation into the incidents by security agencies and accountability for the perpetrators. Despite the attacks, the party believes Pantami's victory is within reach and urges Governor Inuwa Yahaya to prepare for a dignified exit from his current position. The PDP remains committed to protecting Gombe State’s resources and ensuring their equitable management for the benefit of all citizens.
