Kaduna-based Islamic preacher identified as Ahmad Gumi, has warned Nigerians agitating for the sack of the minister of Communication Isa Pantami, to desist from it.
The Islamic Cleric who had consistently called for negotiations with bandits stated that Pantami was not sympathetic towards terrorists.
Speaking in a interview with Root Tv, Gumi said the embattled minister was rather a nation-builder who was working to attract other youths of his Ilk to support the government.
“Show me one person he has killed. He has not killed anybody. He has not ordered the killing of anybody. The man is stabilizing a government among a section of youths which we want them to come and join in nation-building,” he said
Gumi also said Pantami was a victim of wicked campaigns to remove him from office.
“And you people are fighting them. No. You should get more people like Pantami and put them in power. Don’t remove him. You’ll regret,” he warned.
