‘Why Buhari won’t sack Pantami despite his romance with terrorists’

The movement for the Actualization of the Soverign State of Biafra on Tuesday berated President Buhari saying that the appointment of Dr Isa Pantami as the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy was a continuation of the “Fulanistic agenda of islamizing the country by all means, including electronic digitization and communication.”

MASSOB described Pantami as a Fulani terrorist apologist and an ardent sponsor of radical and extreme islamism.

In a statement by the MASSOB leader, Uchenna Madu titled, ‘Buhari has vindicated MASSOB through Isa Pantami’s appointment’, said, “Pantami is a qualified and excellent tool in the hand of President Buhari in his primitive quest of making the Nigerian state as the permanent homeland for all Fulani scattered in West Africa.”

The statement partly read, “It is only in the southern and middle beltan Christian-dominated regions that Pantami’s National Identification Number (NIN) registration was made extreme compulsory.

“The NIN registration was an electronic digital instrument of monitoring the personal data of the people of southern and middle beltan regions. It will also be a major electronic means of disfranchising the electorate from the southern and middle beltan regions and rigging the presidential election results of 2023 to favour the Fulani interest and Islamic religious agenda.”

It added, “Pantami will never resign his appointment of helping President Buhari to make Nigeria a permanent homeland for all the Fulani of West Africa.”
