Court Nullifies Pantami’s Ticket, Orders PDP To Conduct Fresh Gov’ship Primary by Ofunaofu(op): 2:27pm On Sep 24
Court Nullifies Pantami’s ticket, Orders PDP to conduct fresh gov’ship Primary In Gombe


The Federal High Court sitting in Gombe has ordered the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to conduct a fresh primary election for its governorship ticket in Gombe State.

The court, presided over by Justice Amina Aliyu Mohammed, gave the order in a suit filed by Usman Aliyu Garry to challenge the emergence of Prof. Isa Ali Pantami as the PDP governorship candidate.

Garry had challenged Pantami’s emergence after the party announced him as its sole candidate on June 26, 2026, arguing that the required primary election was not conducted.

Pantami, who was an aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC), had defected to the PDP after the APC settled for Jamilu Gwamna as its consensus candidate.

Pantami subsequently secured the ticket through voice affirmation during the PDP governorship primary held in May.

But in its judgment delivered on Thursday, the court ordered the PDP to conduct a fresh primary election in accordance with the party’s guidelines and relevant electoral laws

Someone will just join political party and receive an automatic ticket. What money cannot do doesn't exist. Until money politics is destroyed in Nigeria, democracy may remain a scam.

The APC governors are beginning to strike back at Wike using the compromised courts. Democracy is on life support under Tinubu.

Some people will still blame it on Tinubu and the APC. Patanmi was a member of the APC all throughout the 8 years of the Buhari regime. He participated in the APC gubernatorial primary and lost to Gwamna. The following week, he crossed to the PDP and picked up the ticket without being a member or participating in any primary. I wonder what took the court so long in sending him packing. He was statutorily disqualified. But PO and Obedients will always clutch to a drowning straw.

Yinmu raise to Power 2 ☯️!
After the closing of the Nominations dates,by the INEC,It will be illegal for any Party to now want to Conduct A Late Election because:
•It will be Unfair business for Other Participants Since those Other Parties Never Asked PDP Not to put their house in Order.
•The Court should have included this Caveat in their Judgement,for your Failure On the Part of a Party -does not mean Other Failures On Other Parties - who had put their houses in Order -On Equity and Fairness basis 🥳!

This rubbish have to end.

Someone will lose primaries in one party and decamp to another party the following week and become the new party flag bearer without even participating in the new party primaries.


Pantami thinks the candidates that build and stayed in the party from day 1 before he came in are fools right??.


May God help us

Well said bro 👍.
This is a Straight forward ⏩ Case and let the Court explain the reason - why a late Gubernatorial Selection by a Party - Should Still be Conducted,when it was their own Party Palava!

So you have no problem if Isa pantami becomes governor with access to monthly allocation in this country as long as APC doesn't win?

Only in Nigeria you see people with questionable characters boldly contesting elective positions. Tinubu has brought Nigeria to the lowest of the lows.


Tueh.

Just because he is a Muslim cleric. How is he dangerous? Have you seen him killing or carrying dangerous weapons or reported sponsoring same?

A pastor is the governor of Benue state, he is not dangerous. A pastor deputized late Buhari, he wasn't seen dangerous.

You people's islamaphobic tendencies will one day tear this country apart. That's when you guys will see the real problem you are praying for.

Anyway time will tell.
That version of Islam created and sponsored by the Western world that is terroristic will die natural death insh'a'allah.
