More support continues to roll in for the #pantamiresignnow campaign which has been trending on social media for the past one week as the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Ndudi Elumelu, has asked the House to demand the resignation or sack of the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, for once supporting activities of Jihadist leaders and deadly Islamic sects.
Pantami has been under attack for once supporting the violent cause of extremist Islamist sects and Jihadist narratives of al-Qaeda and the Taliban before he became a minister in the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Elumelu, at the plenary on Wednesday raised a point of order, to demand that the House acts on the issue and particularly demanded the minister’s resignation or sack.
However, the Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila overruled the Minority Leader noting that Elumelu came under the matter and the matter being raised had nothing to do with his privilege as a lawmaker.
Gbajabiamila said, “Your point of order is noted.”
