The weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting closed on Wednesday without discussing the controversies trailing the continued stay in office of Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Dr. Ali Isa Pantami.<\/p>\n

Various groups had in the last few days called for Pantami\u2019s sack or resignation.<\/p>\n

The raging controversy around Pantami was over his alleged past positions on activities of extremist groups, Al-Qaeda and Taliban<\/a>, which he was reported to have approved and commended.<\/p>\n

However State House Correspondents asked the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, if the FEC discussed the brewing crisis on Pantami\u2019s case, especially as demands had been made by the public.<\/p>\n

Mohammed had led the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola to the State House media gallery for the post-FEC briefing.<\/p>\n

Mohammed was asked whether the council discussed the matter and if the government was comfortable with its burden on its image.<\/p>\n

Mohammed said: \u201cI\u2019m not going to go into the issue of whether government is comfortable or not. I will answer your question directly. It was not discussed at the council meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
