2027: Pantami raises security concerns over Gombe tour, alleges intimidation



Former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy and the Peoples Democratic Party’s governorship candidate in Gombe State, Prof. Isa Ali Pantami, has alleged that some unnamed government officials are plotting against him and intimidating his supporters as he continues a thank-you tour across parts of Gombe State.Pantami made the allegations in a statement issued on Tuesday, a day after his Monday visit to the Shongom, Kaltungo and Billiri Local Government Areas to meet with leaders of his political party and supporters.The statement comes amid heightened political activities in Gombe State ahead of the 2027 general elections, with consultations and grassroots engagements gathering momentum across the state’s local government areas.Pantami, however, alleged that the success of the visit had unsettled an unnamed individual, whom he accused of seeking details of his movements to carry out harmful plans.He said, “Yesterday, Monday, we commenced a thank-you visit and meetings with our party leaders in Shongom, Kaltungo, and Billiri Local Government Areas. The reception was a huge success, and our citizens in the 3 LGAs received us with world-class hospitality.“He saw the videos and is worried because his hypothesis has failed woefully. As a result, he started asking for our itinerary to make evil plans against us. How can those who swore on the Holy Book to protect the people be planning evil against those they lead?”Pantami maintained that he was exercising his constitutional right to move freely across the country. He also disclosed the next phase of his engagements.Quoting the Constitution, he stated, “Freedom of movement is a constitutional right. Under Section 41(1) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, every citizen is entitled to move freely throughout the country and to reside in any part thereof“For his information, our itinerary for today is Akko, Balanga, and Yamaltu-Deba with the special grace of Allah.

This is a clear violation of their constitutional right to freedom of association as provided in Section 40 of the Constitution.”He also alleged attempts to suppress information relating to payments allegedly made to some Hausa musicians. “Some of our supporters have been asked to stop posting or sharing any information regarding the huge sums of money given to Hausa singers from Kano. How can we suppress a story when one of them has left the group and revealed the facts and figures?”Calling on his supporters to remain resolute, the former minister urged security agencies and other relevant institutions to investigate the alleged threats. “We urge our party leaders, supporters, and all members of the Pantamiyya Movement not to be intimidated by these evil plans. We also call on the relevant government institutions to monitor and identify those who are planning evil against others”, he stated.Pantami also cited passages from the Quran and the Bible to encourage his supporters. “So do not weaken and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are believers.” (Surah Ali ‘Imran: Ayah 139).He also quoted the Bible, saying, “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you…” (Isaiah 41:10).Pantami further warned against attempts to undermine the popularity of others, saying, “Any attempt to appropriate or denigrate the popularity of others will backfire and further undermine your own standing. May Allah continue to expose evil planners in our society and bring them to ridicule.Pantami, who served as Minister of Communications and Digital Economy under former President Muhammadu Buhari, has remained active in political and public affairs since leaving office.In recent months, he has intensified engagements with political leaders and supporters across Gombe State, fuelling speculation about his possible role in the state’s political landscape ahead of the 2027 elections.
