My Information Can’t Be With Terrorist Sympathiser, Pantami — Aisha Yesufu

*Vows Not To Link National Identification Number With
Phone

Activist, Aisha Yesufu, has said that she will not link her
National Identification Number to her phone number as required by
the Federal Government.

According to Yesufu, linking her NIN to her phone number will
have her information in the control of a terrorist sympathiser and
his cohorts.

She disclosed this in a tweet with the hashtag #PantiMustGo
which demands the sacking or resignation of the Minister of
Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami.

“Let me repeat categorically what I have said before. I WILL NOT
BE LINKING MY NIN to my phone number! I will rather not have a
phone line than willingly give my information and have it in the
control of a terrorist sympathiser and his cohorts #PantamiMustGo,”
Yesufu tweeted.

The call for Pantami’s sacking or resignation is a result of a
sermon he delivered in the past which had him allegedly
sympathising with terrorist groups – Al-Qaeda and the Taliban.

Pantami was, however, backed by the Presidency through the
Senior Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity,
Garba Shehu, who said the minister was young when he made those
statements and that his position had since changed.

Reacting through a video in April, Yesufu said, “The Presidency
is not Garba Shehu and Muhammadu Buhari. The Presidency is an
institution and that institution should never be seen in any way
whatsoever supporting someone who is now known to have been a
terrorist sympathiser.

“We cannot be a nation that allows people who support terrorism
to be out there in our public domain as public servants. We cannot
have a minister of a sector that is so sensitive – as per our
information, everything under that sector – be someone who is a
terrorist sympathiser, whether has been, still is, repented or
not.”
