Nigeria’ll Live In Regret If Pantami Is Sacked, Gumi Spits Fire

Controversial Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has warned against removal or sack of embattled Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Isa Pantami, insisting that the country will regret if the Minister is removed from office.

There have been calls for the resignation of the Minister over his pass support for terror groups, which he has since renounced.

Many Nigerians have demanded for his sack or resignation, insisting his renunciation was not enough.

But Gumi during an interview with Roots TV, said the allegations against the embattled Minister were not true and should be discarded.

“You cannot Islamize the whole world. Jesus Christ came; he could not Christianize the whole world. Nobody can Islamize or Christianize Nigeria,” Gumi began.

“All his actions, one hundred percent, shows he is not a terrorist. Those who are terrorists are after his life.

The Minister should continue. His presence there is fighting the terrorist ideology.

“Show me one person he has killed. He has not killed anybody. He has not ordered the killing of anybody. Discard the fake news.

“The man is stabilizing a government among a section of youths, which we want them to come and join in nation-building. They should not throw him away. Leave him. He is not a terrorist sympathizer.

“And you people are fighting them. No. You should get more people like Pantami and put them in power. It will stabilize. Don’t remove him. You’ll regret,” he stated.
