No reasonable Government will allow Pantami in it’s cabinet – Wike

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has said that no reasonable government will allow the Minister of communications and digital economy, Isa Pantami in it’s cabinet.

Wike said this reacting to the minister’s previous comments allegedly supporting Al-Qaeda which has generated reactions, with some Nigerians calling for his resignation.

Isa Pantami has however, come out to deny association with the terrorist group.

Speaking on the situation in an interview on AIT, Wike stated that in an ideal society, the allegations against Pantami should jolt any government into action.

“No government can fold its hands and allow it. I don’t understand why any reasonable government will allow such a person to be in the cabinet,” the governor said.

“But you were here when DSS wrote a report against (Ibrahim) Magu. What happened? Look, I have never seen a country that your secret service wrote a report about the nominee of Mr President, questioning his character and the rest, and that he is not appointable. What happened? So, what are you talking about. What removed Magu is a power play.”
