Court reserves judgment in suit challenging Pantami as Gombe PDP governorship candidate
The Federal High Court in Gombe has reserved judgment in a suit filed by Usman Aliyu Garry challenging the emergence of Isa Pantami as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate for the 2027 Gombe State governorship election.
Mr Falola urged the court to dismiss the originating summons for lack of merit, arguing that the documents before the court showed that Mr Pantami resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on 19 May 2026, before participating in the PDP governorship primary.
Counsel to Mr Pantami, Tunde Falola, also adopted his preliminary objection and motion, supported by a six-paragraph affidavit deposed to by Shuaibu Usman Gwani.
