The Peoples Democratic Party has said it would be wrong to
continue keeping the embattled Minister of Communications and Digital Economy,
Isa Pantami, as a member of the Federal Executive Council.
Pantami is currently under fire over some controversial comments
he made in the past in support of global terrorist groups, Al-Qaeda and
Taliban.
The PDP said going by the public outrage against the
Minister, the best “is for him to resign and even tender his unreserved apology
to Nigerians for his utterances in the past.”
The National Chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus, who spoke with one of our correspondents, asked the President to relieve the minister of his job if he fails to resign.
“The best thing is for the minister to resign, apologise to
Nigerians and start preaching against terrorism in the open and to the
knowledge of everyone. For now, it is not in the interest of Nigerians and
national security to continue to keep him in office,” he said.
Secondus added that persons in public office should
cultivate the habit of leaving office when they were perceived to have done
something wrong, insisting that “people should stop imposing themselves on the
citizens especially when they have moral burden.”
