Nabil was also a holder of Omani citizenship when he first became a member of the Sindh Assembly.

During this period, then Interior Minister, Rehman Malik, appointed his son Nadir to the Consulate General of Pakistan in New York without considering seniority or merit.

In February 2016, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) launched an investigation against Gabol over allegations of causing significant financial losses to the exchequer during his tenure as Minister of State for Ports and Shipping.

After he was marginalized by the PPP leadership, he announced his decision to quit the PPP in 2013 and he joined, along with his colleagues, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM).<ref name="dawn/10apr15" /><ref>{{cite news |title=Nabil Gabol quits PPP, joins MQM |url=https://www.dawn.com/news/796093 |accessdate=5 August 2018 |work=DAWN.COM |date=18 March 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170404134633/https://www.dawn.com/news/796093 |archive-date=4 April 2017 |url-status=live }}</ref> He said that PPP was no longer the party of Benazir Bhutto and therefore he left it.<ref>{{cite news |title=Nabil Gabol joins MQM, says PPP no longer Benazir's party |url=https://www.geo.tv/latest/56955 |accessdate=9 September 2018 |work=Geo News}}</ref>
His decision to join the MQM, a Muhajir nationalist party traditionally opposed to the PPP, caused a stir in the politics of Sindh, especially Karachi and Lyari as Gabol comes from a political family long associated with the PPP. Journalist Yousuf Masti Khan said that the decision was driven by power politics due to different political party gangs (including MQM's Nadeem Commando and PPP's People's Aman Committee) ruling Lyari and with weakened prospects of the PPP in the upcoming elections.<ref name=":1" />
He was re-elected to the National Assembly as a candidate of MQM from Constituency NA-246 (Karachi-VIII) in Pakistani general election, 2013.
