President Buhari had on Thursday expressed support for Pantami amid calls for his resignation

Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, has reacted to President Muhammadu Buhari’s support for the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami amid calls for his resignation following pro-Taliban comments, although now recanted, credited to him.

Ezekwesili, in a series of tweets, stated that the position of the Presidency with regard to the case involving Pantami shows the view of President Buhari on terrorism.

“In that singular act of siding with his Minister of Communication, @NGRPresident @MBuhari actually conveyed a message on his view of terrorism. Nigerians now know that his views align with that of his Minister. It is now left to Nigerians to convey whether we agree with them.

“I do not agree with @NGRPresident @MBuhari and his Minister of Communication that any citizen can get away with such bloodcurdling rhetorics the latter made through the years. Worse that one who swore an oath to public office said and did the things @NigeriaGov has waved off.
