 INEC ACKNOWLEDGES PROF. UMAR ABUBAKAR GOMBE AS NATIONAL CHAIRMAN OF SDP 


The Social Democratic Party, SDP, has said that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has implemented the ruling of the Supreme Court by uploading the name of Professor Abubakar Sadid Umar Gombe on its official portal to replace Shehu Musa Gabam.
