Activist, Aisha Yesufu, has said that she will not link her
National Identification Number to her phone number as required by the Federal
Government.
According to Yesufu, linking her NIN to her phone number
will have her information in the control of a terrorist sympathiser and his
cohorts.
She disclosed this in a tweet with the hashtag #PantiMustGo
which demands the sacking or resignation of the Minister of Communications and
Digital Economy, Isa Pantami.
“Let me repeat categorically what I have said before. I WILL
NOT BE LINKING MY NIN to my phone number! I will rather not have a phone line
than willingly give my information and have it in the control of a terrorist
sympathiser and his cohorts #PantamiMustGo,” Yesufu tweeted.
The call for Pantami’s sacking or resignation is a result of
a sermon he delivered in the past which had him allegedly sympathising with
terrorist groups – Al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
Pantami was, however, backed by the Presidency through the
Senior Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu,
who said the minister was young when he made those statements and that his
position had since changed.
Reacting through a video in April, Yesufu said, “The
Presidency is not Garba Shehu and Muhammadu Buhari. The Presidency is an
institution and that institution should never be seen in any way whatsoever
supporting someone who is now known to have been a terrorist sympathiser.
“We cannot be a nation that allows people who support terrorism
to be out there in our public domain as public servants. We cannot have a
minister of a sector that is so sensitive – as per our information, everything
under that sector – be someone who is a terrorist sympathiser, whether has
been, still is, repented or not.”
