Al-Qaeda: Pantami not an apologetic terrorist – Nnamdi Kanu

Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu has reacted to the discussion enclosing the Minister of Communications and Digital Planning, Isa Pantami.

Kanu insisted that Pantami is not an apologetic terrorist.

Pantami was recently linked to terrorists’ organisations like Al-Qaeda and Taliban.

This followed the revival of an audio recording of his past teachings where he aided the terrorists organisations.

Nigerians have been calling for his sack, over his past comments on Taliban and al-Qaeda, since the audio emerged.

Following the backlash, the Minister had earlier distanced himself from such extremist groups.

He later admitted making such ambiguous comments but claimed his reasoning has transformed.

Reacting to his comment, Kanu asserted that such change is not possible.

In a tweet, the IPOB leader wrote: “In case you forgot, TERRORISM is a form of #Islamic ideology, as well as a religious duty for every Muslim that believes in JIHAD.

“Therefore, there can never be anything like a repentant terrorist, not even some Minister named Isa Pantami (@DrIsaPantami). Please be guided. I am.”
