The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has stated that the position of President Muhammadu Buhari and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on call for the resignation of Isa Pantami, the Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, shows both are supporters of terrorism in the country.

This was contained in a statement issued by Kola Ologbondiyan, the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, on Friday.

On Thursday, a statement made by the Presidency indicated that the Buhari’s led administration is solidly behind Pantami, thereby disregarding the calls for the Minister’s removal from office.

According to Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, the embattled Minister was young when he made the comments and his position has since changed.

But the PDP said the statement by the Presidency “shows a desperation to provide official cover to a terrorism apologist further confirms public and international apprehensions that the Buhari administration and the All Progressives Congress (APC) are patronising acts of terrorism in our country”.

“Nigerians were traumatized that the Presidency could mount a hopeless defence and justification for the actions of the exposed Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, who had already confessed to supporting terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda and Taliban.

“It is instructive to note that this anti-people stance has heightened public anxiety that the Buhari Presidency is a haven for traitors who are providing support to acts of terrorist activities in our nation,” the country’s mainh opposition party said in a statement.

According to the PDP, it has taken a stance that the Buhari’s administration has failed to confront terrorism, adding that the president’s action shows that he cares less about the number of casualties recorded as a result of insecurity in the country.

“Our party holds that this has further exposed why the Buhari Presidency has failed to decisively confront terrorism as well as why terrorists, bandits, kidnappers and insurgents are emboldened to ravage our nation and massacre our compatriots.

“It is inexcusable that the Buhari Presidency is showing grave insensitivity to the fact that thousands of Nigerians have been massacred, maimed and horrified, that hundreds of communities have been devastated and that our nation has been under siege because of the actions and public comments by individuals like Isa Pantami,” the statement read.

The party noted that the president would have reassured Nigerians by relinquishing the embattled minister from his office and hand him over to the appropriate agency for deradicalization.

It asked the president to withdraw its earlier statement of the minister and relieve him of his position, saying that it is a way of restoring the trust of the citizens.

“Our party notes that if indeed the Buhari Presidency has not found itself entangled, the least it ought to have done in the face of allegations against Pantami was to reassure Nigerians by first relieving Isa Pantami of his office and hand him over to the appropriate agency for deradicalization.

“The PDP asserts that it is pertinent to point out that Isa Pantami had initially denied his support to terrorist groups and only admitted after he was overwhelmed by evidence: thus rubbishing the lame claims by the Buhari Presidency that the minister had turned a new leaf 20 years ago.

“The PDP holds that Isa Pantami belongs to the deradicalization centre and not in any way in tThe he Federal Executive Council where he’s been alleged of compromising our national security as evinced in his initial denials.

“This is in addition to allegations in the public space that the exposed minister had been compromising our national data as well as the NIN registration exercise, wherein aliens and invaders from other countries were alleged to have been registered as our citizens. These are issues that our party insists must be investigated by the Department of State Services(DSS).

“As a party, the PDP charges President Muhammadu Buhari to reassure the citizens by immediately withdrawing the statement from his Presidency, relieve Isa Pantami of his position as minister and take a bold step to flush out terrorist apologists from the Presidency,” the statement read.
