The Peoples Democratic Party has condemned attacks on its supporters during the homecoming reception of its governorship candidate in Gombe State, Professor Isa Pantami, warning that no form of intimidation or violence would stop his victory in the 2027 governorship election.

The party’s position was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Jungudo Mohammed.

PDP supporters were reportedly assaulted on Wednesday during a homecoming rally organised for the party’s 2027 governorship candidate, Pantami, in Gombe State.

A viral video circulating on social media showed suspected thugs attacking and manhandling PDP supporters, while several vehicles were reportedly vandalised.

Reacting, the opposition party condemned the attacks as barbaric and undemocratic, urging security agencies to investigate the incidents and bring the perpetrators to justice.

The PDP stated, “While celebrating this historic reception, the PDP strongly condemns the attacks on innocent citizens and our supporters, including the destruction of vehicles and the injury of party supporters.

The PDP said the attacks on its supporters would not stop its quest to defeat the APC in the 2027 elections, urging Governor Inuwa Yahaya to prepare for an honourable exit.

The party said the reception accorded its governorship candidate, Pantami, showed growing support for change, urging supporters to remain peaceful, united and focused.

It stated, “The PDP is particularly concerned about the protection of Gombe State’s commonwealth. The resources of the state are not a political inheritance, personal entitlement or bounty to be shared and squandered by a privileged few. They belong to the people of Gombe and must be managed in their collective interest with the utmost prudence, transparency and accountability. The PDP is determined to protect this commonwealth.
