Oyogist.com has learned that popular Muslim scholar, Sheikh Abubakar Ahmad Gumi has kicked against calls for the suspension of Nigeria’s Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami.
Recall the presidency had earlier waved off the idea of sacking Isa Pantami while insisting that the minister has apologized for his views on Boko Haram, Taliban and Al-Qaeda.
Gumi said:
“Show me one person he has killed. He has not killed anybody. He has not ordered the killing of anybody. The man is stabilising a government among a section of youths which we want them to come and join in nation-building.”
Gumi also said there were plots to remove Pantami from office before now.
“And you people are fighting them. No. You should get more people like Pantami and put them in power. Don’t remove him. You’ll regret,” he warned.
