Pantami Candidacy Under Legal Scrutiny | Nigeria News

The Federal High Court in Gombe is delaying its verdict in a high-stakes legal battle over the PDP’s 2027 governorship candidate, Professor Isa-Ali Ibrahim Pantami. Both Aliyu Garry and Khamisu Mailantarki, rival PDP aspirants, are challenging Pantami’s eligibility and the legitimacy of the selection process. Garry argues the procedures were flawed, while Mailantarki claims Pantami wasn’t even a party member during the primaries. Lawyers on both sides were praised for professionalism, but ground-level tensions simmer as candidates feel the process was rigged. Pantami’s team insists everything was done by the book, while Garry’s camp insists the suit has merit. The court is now waiting to set judgment dates — and the political fallout could reshape the PDP’s Gombe race. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
