Former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Professor Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, has withdrawn from the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primary election in Gombe State.
Professor Pantami said his decision was based on alleged infringements of the Electoral Act 2026 during the party’s primary process.
In a statement, the former minister said he could not continue participating in a process he believed did not comply with the provisions of the law guiding party primaries and internal democratic procedures.
He described the decision as a protest against what he termed irregularities in the conduct of the exercise.
Further details surrounding the alleged violations and the party’s response were not immediately available at the time of filing this report.
