Outrage As MURIC Backs Under-Fire Pantami,Tells Him Not to Be Intimidated
MURIC has risen in defense of the embattled Isa Pantami, telling him not tell let anyone intimidate him.
The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has urged the Minister of Communications and Digital Planning, Dr. Isa Pantami, to ignore calls by some people that he should resign.
CityNews Nigeria gathered that many Nigerians have now taken to social media to condemn MURIC for supporting Pantami,saying the minister must be grilled by the DSS and Buhari government must ask him to rising immediately.
Recall that here have been calls for Pantami to resign over his alleged ties to terrorists sects.
Pantanmi, who described the campaign for him to step down as politically motivated, renounced some the controversial statements he made in the past.
But that did not stop those who asked President Muhammadu Buhari to fire him from continuing with their campaign.
In a statement issued by its director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, MURIC said everyone has their past.
“A section of the Nigerian press published reports of calls being made by some people for the resignation of Dr. Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami over the fake news that the US had placed him on its watchlist. The second allegation was that the minister had made certain radical pronouncements in the past.
“It is a baseless call and it should be ignored. After all, the US itself has denied it. Dr. Pantami has been enjoying unhindered multiple entry to the US for a very long time.
“Even Facebook, the US based social media giant had Pantami’s picture on Facebook’s digital board for several hours as a mark of honor and respect during one of his numerous visits to that country.
“The campaign of calumny is being pushed by forces against the Federal Government’s NIN policy, Boko Haram terrorists, bandits, criminals in general and political IDPs (Internally Displaced Politicians). No one who has the love of Nigeria at heart will support such a malicious and frivolous allegation.
