There had been calls from the members of the public Pantami’s resignation over an old video in which he endorsed the activities of some terrorist organizations, including the Al-Qaeda movement, which was responsible for the infamous September 11, 2001 attacks on the US.
Moghalu said the presidency exhibited double standards as Kemi Adeosun, former minister of finance, was made to resign for a wrongdoing in her past. “For this reason, Pantami should not continue to serve as a minister. For him to remain in his position and for presidency to support this is to tell Nigerians that we have two sets of standards from the very same government, one for the likes of former Finance Minister Kemi Adeosun who had to resign for a wrongdoing in her past, and another for Pantami.
Tope Femi stated: “@GarShehu, so you could prefer terrorist comment to a forged certificate? Both are bad, both are supposed to face justice. With intelligent view, terrorism is evil and more dangerous than forgery. Both are unacceptable.” Femi Coker said: “Greater crime and smaller crime. This is coming from the spokesman of a president? Crime is crime.”
The PDP added that such acts of terrorism, typified by mass killings, banditry, maiming, kidnapping and marauding, have continued to plague the country unchecked. “Instead, the APC has allowed their political mercenaries to continue to maraud our country, with Isa Pantami being accused of using his office to compromise the NIN registration exercise to register such aliens with a view to foisting them on our nation as citizens.”
We should not forget security should list out does sponsors of bandits.
I don't expect less from the presidency, but light will soon show at the end of the tunnel!
