Isa Pantami Should Resign From Office – Wike

Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has urged the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Pantami to immediately resign from his post, after he was accused of having links with terror groups.

According to the governor, an allegation that the United States of America has put a serving minister on its watch list because of terrorism, should be taken up with all seriousness and tactfulness.

He spoke with the African Independent Television (AIT) in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital on Tuesday where he made the revelations known.

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.
