Isa Pantami in tears after APC denied his governorship candidate ticket
Former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Ali Pantami has become the centre of political controversy after he broke down in tears following his exclusion from the APC governorship consensus arrangement in Gombe State.

Isa Pantami rejected the APC consensus process that produced Jamilu Gwamna.

Video showed emotional reactions after the governorship ticket dispute.

Pantami described the process as unlawful and against the Electoral Act.

A similar incident recently happened in Kwara involving an APC assembly aspirant.

The crisis began after the All Progressives Congress in Gombe announced businessman Jamilu Isyaku Gwamna as its consensus governorship candidate ahead of the 2027 elections.

Pantami, who was one of the governorship aspirants, immediately rejected the process, describing it as unlawful and inconsistent with the Electoral Act.

According to him, a valid consensus arrangement can only stand if all cleared aspirants voluntarily agree in writing to step down.

Speaking through members of the Pantamiyya Movement, the former minister accused party leaders of conducting what he described as a “coronation” rather than a democratic process.

Pantami also insisted that the process violated provisions of the Electoral Act and contradicted directives of the party’s national leadership.


Similarly, an APC State House of Assembly aspirant in Kwara State, Abdulmajeed Abdulfatai Arikewuyo, recently broke down in tears after being excluded from the list of candidates released from Ilorin South-West despite submitting his letter of intention.

Re: Former Minister, Isa Pantami Breaks Down In Tears After Being Denied APC Ticket by Abdullahi4u7(m): 3:42am On May 09
I believe he's delivering an Islamic lecture and in reverence of the words of his Lord, Allah, that were being recited, he cried. It was obvious because he asked the reciter to continue afterwards.

Thus, this is nothing but cheap propaganda.

PS. I am non-partisan.

A full grown man and former minister in tears because of personal ambition. Could be fake news sha as the video doesn't show why he's crying.
As bad as this is, it's more commendable than pulling down the whole roof or jumping from party to party in desperation.

Not everyone who disagrees with you is on payroll. Some people still have functioning brains, while others seem to have had theirs removed so they can’t think.

He didn't cry when precious souls was killed by his tactical terrorists teams across the country, but can shed stupid tears for a personal ambition, the devil is a learner compare with Nigeria politicians. I split on you patami or what do you call your name

I think you are very correct
Re: Former Minister, Isa Pantami Breaks Down In Tears After Being Denied APC Ticket by babzo(m): 4:28am On May 09
I am not a supporter of this man or °APC, but this might be fake.

This looks like the video of him crying some years ago over the death of a Sheikh.

Yes this was years ago when a sheikh died, I think a foreign one.

This is why I dont trust nor believe in any of the parties nor their supporters, expect maybe Sowore. The lies are too much.
Re: Former Minister, Isa Pantami Breaks Down In Tears After Being Denied APC Ticket by ARISHEM:
If we are reasonable he should be banned from contesting in any political office.
If the constitution give provision to ban someone cured of mental illness from participating in any political office it should also extend to someone that endorsed jihad and known to express sympathy for extremist groups like al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
A security conscious country will put him on a watch list rather than allow him contest for any political office.

It is that tears that will kill you. Very evil man
Re: Former Minister, Isa Pantami Breaks Down In Tears After Being Denied APC Ticket by Kindledlight(m): 4:48am On May 09
This one only job now is to be posting fake news up and down social media platforms.

Instead of them to face their problems, they are busy looking for who to implode leaving their own internal problems.

Set of very unserious human beings that want to do things differently for the country.

Mtcheew.
Re: Former Minister, Isa Pantami Breaks Down In Tears After Being Denied APC Ticket by AMINDA: 4:50am On May 09
It is satire. The video has no correlation with the denial of ticket. He was clearly giving a sermon and that's an old video.
Re: Former Minister, Isa Pantami Breaks Down In Tears After Being Denied APC Ticket by Openyamind111(m): 4:55am On May 09

WICKEDNESS AND EVIL IS CRYING
Re: Former Minister, Isa Pantami Breaks Down In Tears After Being Denied APC Ticket by Kobicove(m): 5:19am On May 09
The real reason why he's crying is probably because he has sold some of his houses in order to raise the money needed for electioneering campaign
