Lawyers representing the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and former minister Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami issue demands to Nigeria’s electoral commission, INEC, to publish Pantami’s name on the 2027 Gombe State governorship candidate list. Punch reports a three-day ultimatum, while Premium Times says the request is conveyed in a formal legal document sent to INEC’s chairman.
Legit.ng adds that the former minister sets a longer deadline, saying INEC has 72 hours and citing a specific date of October 14 to restore his name following a fresh PDP primary monitored by INEC officials. The outlets frame the issue as a dispute over INEC’s list publication and the timing for correcting or restoring candidate information after the primary process.
