PDP tasks the DSS to investigate Pantami

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has tasked the Department of State Service (DSS) to investigate the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, over his alleged affiliations with the Taliban and Al-Qaeda.

This was disclosed in a statement by the Party National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in Abuja on Sunday.

The Party also demanded that President Buhari should immediately sack the minister, given the sensitivity of the issue at stake.

The Party stated that the minister may have a hand in the rise of banditry and terrorism that the nation has witnessed recently.

The statement partly read, “The PDP is particularly worried about allegations in the public suggesting that the minister compromised the NIN registration exercise by giving room for the registration of aliens and invaders from other countries as our citizens.

“The party tasks the DSS to investigate the allegation which has created apprehension, particularly given the rise in banditry and other terrorist activities in our country.

“The PDP urges Nigerians to remain at alert and very sensitive to their environment, while not hesitating in providing useful information to our security agencies in the interest of our nation.”
