Pantami<\/a> to resign over his alleged ties to terrorists sects.<\/p>\nPantanmi, who described the campaign for him to step down as politically motivated, renounced some the controversial statements he made in the past.<\/p>\n
But that did not stop those who asked President Muhammadu Buhari to fire him from continuing with their campaign.<\/p>\n
In a statement issued by its director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, MURIC said everyone has their past.<\/p>\n
\u201cA section of the Nigerian press published reports of calls being made by some people for the resignation of Dr. Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami over the fake news that the US had placed him on its watchlist. The second allegation was that the minister had made certain radical pronouncements in the past.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a baseless call and it should be ignored. After all, the US itself has denied it. Dr. Pantami has been enjoying unhindered multiple entry to the US for a very long time.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven Facebook, the US based social media giant had Pantami\u2019s picture on Facebook\u2019s digital board for several hours as a mark of honor and respect during one of his numerous visits to that country.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe campaign of calumny is being pushed by forces against the Federal Government\u2019s NIN policy, Boko Haram terrorists, bandits, criminals in general and political IDPs (Internally Displaced Politicians). No one who has the love of Nigeria at heart will support such a malicious and frivolous allegation.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a well-known fact that NIN is designed to expose the true identity of criminals like Yahoo Yahoo boys, bandits and kidnappers who use the internet and telephone to extort money from foreigners and families of kidnapped victims.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey live a life of Mr. Jekyll and Hyde : respected gentlemen in the day but dangerous criminals at night and on lonely alleys.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have become jittery ever since the NIN policy was introduced by Pantami\u2019s Ministry of Communications and Digital Policy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are among those who stand to benefit from Pantami\u2019s resignation. As for the political IDPs, their motive is to ensure that no project initiated by the current administration succeeds.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe implications of Pantami\u2019s resignation at this crucial stage are too gloomy to contemplate. It is a national security issue. The NIN scheme, our hope for dealing a technical blow on terrorism, insurgency, kidnapping and all sorts of criminality in the country will suffer suffocating palpitations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere will be a break in monitoring. It is better for us to allow the man who started it to finish it. If any problem arises after we have changed hands in the middle of its implementation, the new boss will easily shift the blame. It will then be a double tragedy. Let the beginner be the finisher. #beginnermustbefinisher<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the interest of our great country, Nigeria, we therefore charge Dr. Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami to ignore calls for his resignation. An agitation for resignation which is not based on sincerity and truth must be resisted by patriots.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis campaign for the minister\u2019s resignation is in bad taste. It is pregnant with ulterior motives. Pantami must not surrender. He must not succumb to cheap blackmail. A captain does not abandon ship in stormy waters. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
