Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has called on the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Pantami to resign from office. This is for allegedly been placed on terrorism watchlist by the US government.
Wike who made the call during an interview on African Independent Television, on Tuesday, said no reasonable government will have Isa Pantani as Minister.
He said the moment a government official has been accused of terrorism, no government can fold its arm and not do anything.
Wike said in saner climes, such an allegation should shake any government into action.
“The moment a high government official is on a watch list as regards to terrorism, no government can fold its hands and allow it,” he said.
“if an American government says your minister is on a watch list, it calls for concern for you say look there is a problem,” Wike added.
He, wondered why a reasonable government will allow such a person to be in its cabinet.
