Former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy Isa Ali Pantami says he will expose people he alleges are behind attempts to derail his governorship ambition in Gombe State. Speaking in a message to supporters, he promises that investigations have identified those involved and that their names and actions will be revealed soon.
The reports link his vow to political and legal setbacks surrounding his candidacy. Outlets say Pantami left the All Progressives Congress after a consensus candidate was adopted, later joined the Peoples Democratic Party, and became its flag-bearer. Coverage also notes that his candidacy faces challenges including a Supreme Court decision related to party membership lists, and that INEC excluded him from an updated register of candidates. Across the articles, Pantami frames his fight as ongoing and urges supporters to stay steadfast despite criticism.
One additional emphasis appears in the Nigerian Eye coverage: Pantami delivers religious commentary warning supporters not to mock people who pray, and he portrays his movement as divinely guided. Other outlets focus more directly on the vow to name alleged plotters and on the political process difficulties.
