The political landscape in Gombe State has been thrown into fresh uncertainty ahead of the 2027 governorship election following a Federal High Court judgment nullifying the emergence of former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Prof. Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate.
The court, sitting in Gombe, ordered the PDP to conduct a fresh governorship primary in compliance with the party’s guidelines and applicable electoral laws.
Justice Amina Aliyu Mohammed delivered the judgment on Thursday, September 24, 2026, in a suit filed by PDP governorship aspirant, Usman Aliyu Garry, who challenged the process through which Pantami emerged as the party’s candidate. The development has been reported by multiple Nigerian news outlets, including TVC News and Arise News.
