#PantamiResign is currently trending on social media as Nigerians demand his removal over Trending Video
GoldenNewsNg learnt that the past deeds of Isa Pantami, Digital Economy and Communications Minister, is currently working against him as Nigerians are demanding his immidiate removal from office.
Before his current appointment as minister, Mr Pantami, an Islamic cleric, had berated his colleagues who went into politics and took political appointments.
In a video clip shot in the 2000s but began trending on social media yesterday, the minister was seen criticising his fellow cleric for going into but did not reject the offer when President Muhammadu Buhari appointed him into his current position, an act that forced many to describe him as a hypocrite.
In veil reference, the minister was also reported to have expressed satisfaction at the killing of Christians which is still ongoing, particularly in Northern Nigeria.
He had also declared support for terrorist groups like Al-Queda and the Taliban though he has kicked against Boko Haram which is similar to the two foreign terror groups.
Early Friday morning, the hashtag #PantamiResign began trending particularly on Twitter. He is not the first minister of the president whose past deeds hunted down. Kemi Adeosun, former finance minister suffered similar fate.
Mrs Adeosun, exposed for forging her academic credentials in 2018, was forced to resign her position months after the scandal.

Fact that a lot of moderates are quiet or defending Pantami after initially claiming Islamophobia may just prove the point that some terrorists enjoy protection from moderates. It’s been shameful to watch. Everybody must now demand his resignation #PantamiResign

Tell your oga that we are uncomfortable with a terrorist sympathizer handling our personal data unless he wants us to believe that it was by design.#PantamiResign https://t.co/pRoL1hoZfL
