Pantami’s ward APC chair, ADC rep candidate join PDP

A significant political shift has occurred in Gombe Local Government Area, Nigeria, with the chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Pantami Ward resigning and joining the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Bala Ngalda, who held the position of APC Ward Chairman, officially announced his defection, marking a blow to the APC in the local area.

Ngalda's move was quickly followed by another notable defection. A representative candidate for the All Democrats Congress (ADC) in Pantami Ward also switched allegiance to the PDP. This dual defection suggests a coordinated effort to strengthen the PDP's presence and influence within the ward.

The resignations and subsequent party switches are indicative of the fluid and dynamic nature of Nigerian politics, particularly at the local level. Such movements often reflect shifting political landscapes, local grievances, or strategic realignments ahead of future elections.
