▪︎Tasks Buhari to sack minister
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on the Department of State Services (DSS) to immediately invite the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, for questioning over alleged affiliations with the Taliban and Al-Qaeda.
The party, in a statement by the National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, also demanded that President Muhammadu Buhari should immediately sack the minister, given the sensitivity of the issue at stake.
“Our party’s position is predicated on the heightening concerns in the public space and in the international arena of possible compromises by the communication minister, who has access to sensitive government documents and information, in addition to data of all individuals including high-profile personalities in the public and private sectors as well as the traditional and faith-based circles.
“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,” PDP said.
The party tasked the DSS to investigate the allegation, which has created apprehension, particularly given the rise in banditry and other terrorist activities in the country.
The also urged Nigerians to remain at alert and very sensitive to their environments, while not hesitating in providing useful information to the security agencies in the interest of the nation.
