I Reject Any Affiliation To Terror Groups – Pantami

Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami has come out to say that his comments on terrorist groups, Taliban and Al-Qaeda, have been misconstrued.

He recently revealed this during an interview with Peoples Gazette, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he has zero issues with Christians, and his personal driver, secretary and technical assistant are all Christians.

Pantami added that he has never condoned terrorism so he absolutely rejects any affiliation to terror groups.

His words, “My personal driver is Mai Keffi, a practising Christian. I also have a Christian, Ms Nwosu, as my secretary and Dr Femi, also a Christian, as my technical adviser.”

“If I did not like Christians or I did not see them as my brothers and sisters, I would not have been working with them for so long. I employed more Christians than Muslims on my staff because I believe in merit and competence over ethnic or tribal sentiments.”

“I have never condoned terrorism and I reject any affiliation to terror groups. I have long preached peaceful coexistence amongst people of every faith and ethnicity.”
