The political landscape in Gombe State has become increasingly contentious as the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) dispute the membership status of former Communications Minister Professor Isa Ali Pantami. Following his recent defection from the APC to the PDP, Pantami has been named the PDP’s governorship candidate for the 2027 election. The PDP asserts that Pantami is a legitimate member who has officially left the APC, while the APC contends that he remains affiliated with their party due to a lack of formal resignation. This disagreement has intensified political tensions in the state, with both parties preparing for the upcoming elections and engaging in a war of words regarding Pantami's political allegiance.
