The Gombe State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is maintaining that Professor Ali Pantami remains a member of the party. This assertion comes amid reports suggesting Pantami had resigned from the APC and defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Gombe APC officials state that no formal resignation process was followed, rendering claims of his defection invalid. They argue that proper procedures were not adhered to, questioning the legitimacy of reports regarding his party switch. The party insists Pantami’s status remains unchanged without official notification or due process. This dispute raises questions about the validity of recent claims surrounding the minister’s political affiliation. Further clarification is expected as the situation develops.
