One of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship potential aspirants in Gombe State, Hon. Monica Yahaya Kaltho, has officially withdrawn from the court case instituted by some aggrieved governorship non-cleared aspirants challenging the outcome of the party’s governorship primary election, where there was only one candidate for affirmation.
Hon. Monica Yahaya Kaltho also reaffirmed her total support for the PDP governorship candidate, Professor Isa Ali Pantami, and pledged to work tirelessly for his victory in the 2027 Gombe State governorship election.
Explaining her decision, Hon. Monica said she acted after consultations and in respect of the appeal made by the Leader of the PDP in Gombe State, H.E. Senator Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo, who advised her to withdraw from the legal action in the interest of party unity and progress.
She described Senator Dankwambo as a father and a leader whose counsel she deeply values, adding that she accepted his advice because the unity of the PDP and the development of Gombe State are more important than personal ambition. According to her, every member of the party should remain committed to the collective goal of ensuring PDP’s success in 2027 and delivering quality leadership to the people of Gombe State.
In his remarks, Professor Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, CON, expressed profound appreciation to Hon. Monica Yahaya Kaltho for her maturity, patriotism, and commitment to the unity of the PDP. He assured her that she remains an important stakeholder in the journey ahead and that everyone would be carried along in the collective effort to build a stronger PDP and a better Gombe State.
As a mark of respect and gratitude, Professor Isa Pantami personally paid her a visit to her residence to thank her for her support and statesmanship, describing her decision as a sacrifice made in the overall interest of the PDP and the people of Gombe State.
