A former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, has received the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship certificate of return in Gombe State.

Mr Pantami stated this in a post on X on Thursday, noting that the certificate was presented to him by the party’s national chairman, Abdurrahman Muhammad.

He said, “Professor Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, CON, PhD, received the Certificate of Return as Gombe State Gubernatorial Candidate for the People’s Democratic Party.

“The certificate was presented by the National Chairman of the Party, His Excellency Abdurrahman Muhammad, on behalf of the National Working Committee.”

The Peoples Gazette earlier reported that Mr Pantami withdrew from the state All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primary election to pursue his governorship ambition on the PDP platform.
