•CAN, NBA, PDP, others say minister must go
As controversy continues to surround the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Pantami, over alleged links to terrorist groups, the Presidency has come under severe criticism for backing the embattled senior government official.
Pantami, in one of his old sermons that resurfaced recently, praises notorious terrorist, Osama Bin Laden, and also speaks highly of terrorist network Al-Qaeda. However, he recently apologised for his extremist views, claiming he had since changed.
But the Presidency, in a statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, on Thursday, said, “The administration stands behind Minister Pantami and all Nigerian citizens to ensure they receive fair treatment, fair prices, and fair protection in ICT services.”
