Pantami’s extremist views are dangerous for Nigeria__ Nigerians

Following the growing clamour for the resignation of the Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Issa Pantami Nigerians continue to raise alarm over his extremist views which was described as dangerous to Nigeria.

According to an APC chieftain, Yusuf Gagdi, the minister’s past statements allegedly seem to undermine the present security commitment.

In an interview with newsmen, he stressed that what is more important for Nigerians to debate on is what value is he adding to Nigeria

“What is more important is what value is he adding to the Nigerian economy. What value is Pantami adding to curtailing the issue of insecurity in Nigeria? Every politician has his own enemy and every politician has his own past.

“I could remember when Isa Pantami made comments about Boko Haram. The people sent in videos insulting him and trying to declare him wanted. How can you place that or juxtapose that with his present position?

“The man that made a statement in the past against or supporting certain security situation — which is unlikely. If that statement is true then he did not do well at all.

However, against the expectation of many Nigerians, the Federal government kept mum over the vociferous calls for the Minister to resign from office over the alleged links with terrorist groups, Al-Qaeda and Taliban.
