Some security experts on Saturday dismissed the apology by the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, over some controversial comments he made in the past in support of global terrorist groups, Al-Qaeda and Taliban.
"When people have radical ideologies, they don't change overnight. They will carry such ideologies into whatever offices they occupy. So people with extremist ideologies should not occupy sensitive positions," Johnson said in a report by SundayPunch. As massive outrage and demand for his sacking continued on social media on Saturday, Pantami renounced his controversial comments on terrorism.
Pantami said he made some controversial comments when he was still a teenager and insisted that he had changed his views about the issues being used against him currently. The minister's aide, Uwa Suleiman, told Sunday PUNCH that Pantami had always kicked against acts of terrorism and wondered why he was being attacked on terrorism issues.
"You are aware of the NYSC certificate scandal of the former Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun. She resigned when the issue was dragging the administration. It's similar to the Pantami case. He should not occupy that kind of office," Johnson said."Up to the university level, you have to look at the theses they wrote because all these things will help to know the individual's ideology and philosophy. The screening process in Nigeria is a joke.
Also, a Lagos-based security expert, Dickson Osajie, advised the minister to tender his resignation on account of his"romance with terrorists" in the past.
Sahara security abi?
Last sentence for me. Very true. PantamiResignNow
Yet, it was discarded by the same security agents, by the President who took an oath to protect 95%&5%, by the Media, by the 309 squirrels at NASS... Thanks to USA for the Expose! PantamiMustResign

Al-Qaeda Comments.. The security analysts said Pantami's comments were too weighty to be discarded. Nigeria is dealing with Al-Qaeda progressive criminals (apc) PantamiResign Pantami
Is a matter of National Security for that dude to resign or sacked. A terrorist apologist cannot be a custodian of national data.
I wonder what he's still doing there. He's a national threat. from all indications, he's part of this terrorists in the country.
Wonder why dsame man is still in his position instead of retiring
«It is not common for people with extremist ideologists to change overnight. It is more troubling when people with extremist ideologies were in charge of sensitive national data». - By Bishop Johnson, a retired Army Captain in the United States Army.
His presence and involvement in governance in Nigeria is nothing but support for terrorism globally.
He is not the only one, they are still many in MBuhari adminstration. Those indicted in UAE as sponsors of Bokom Haram, what have the NigeriaGov done about it, have they been arrested?. Fighting terrorism is a scam, you can't fight what you have created.
Those whose words and actions created many terrorists groups that have killed millions of Nigerians, cannot come back and tell us they have repented, and they should not have anything to do with NigeriaGov.
When we talk, all his family people come out to defend him. When someone is extremist, no one can change him. Terrorist minded person can't change his mind but to always pretend.
