Though Nigeria’s Minister of Communications and Digital Economy Isa Pantami denounces any allegiance to Boko Haram, he expressed support for the global extremist groups — the Taliban and Al-Qaeda.

“This jihad is an obligation for every single believer, especially in Nigeria,’’ Mr Pantami said in one of his vicious preachings in the 2000s. “Oh God, give victory to the Taliban and to al-Qaeda (Allahumma’ nṣur Ṭālibān wa-tanẓīm al Qā‘ida).”

Mr Pantami’s call to Jihad and unalloyed support for murderous groups portray him as a dyed-in-the-wool Islamic fundamentalist. Yet, President Muhammadu Buhari appointed Mr Pantami as communications minister to control the country’s massive data and telephone infrastructure and other sensitive details of national intelligence.

When contacted on Wednesday by Peoples Gazette regarding his support for the terrorist groups, the minister did not comment.

On Monday, Mr Pantami threatened to sue some media platforms for reporting that he is on the U.S. terror watchlist for supporting Boko Haram.

The minister had claimed on Twitter that his lectures “against the doctrines and all other evil people (terrorists) have been available for over 15 years, including debates that endangered my life against many criminals in Nigeria.”

But he failed to acknowledge that he is an avowed supporter of the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, as revealed in a 2019 academic document ‘Debating Boko Haram’ seen by The Gazette.

Mr Pantami invited Muslims, especially “Ahlus Sunna” (Salafis), to be sceptical of politicians and religious leaders calling for peace and understanding but retaliate with jihad.

“This jihad is an obligation for every single believer, especially in Nigeria (hādhā jihād farḍ ‘ayn ‘ala kull muslim wa-khuṣūṣan fī Nījīriyā),” he added. Mr Pantami’s comments were translated by Professor Andrea Brigaglia, an African expert at Naples University in Italy. Nigerian scholar Musa Ibrahim of the University of Florida in the United States contributed to the paper that explored the onset of Boko Haram in Nigeria.

Top journal publisher academia.edu published the research in March 2019, several months before Mr Buhari tapped Mr Pantami as a minister. Mr Pantami’s violent preachings, which he rendered in Hausa and Arabic throughout the late 1990s and early to mid-2000s, had gone largely unreported in the Nigerian mainstream media.

President Muhammadu Buhari
The document detailed how Mr Pantami offered himself as a volunteer to mobilise the Hisba police of the North, requesting to be appointed as the “commander” (kwamanda) of a militia (ready to travel to Yelwa Shendam) to fight in defence of the Muslims.

The speech, which is about 20 minutes long, concluded with the prayer, “Oh God, give victory to the Taliban and to al-Qaeda (Allahumma’ nṣur Ṭālibān wa-tanẓīm alQā‘ida).”

“During his speech, Pantami is in tears, and his voice is often broken by sighs. The genuineness of his emotional response to what was, without doubt, a dramatic episode in the history of violent conflict in Plateau state is obvious,” said the report.

In a second speech, delivered in 2006, Mr Pantami offered his public condolences for the death of the leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraq, al-Zarqawi.

“May God have mercy on Aḥmad alFāḍil al-Khalayleh, raḥmatullāh’ alayhi. May God forgive his mistakes. He is a human being. He has certainly some mistakes in front of God, so may God forgive his mistakes. Who am I talking about? He is Abū Muṣ‘ab al-Zarqāwī.


“He was born in 1966 of the Christian era, that is forty years ago. […] After some time, he was given responsibility for a camp in Herat. It was the Commander of the Faithful (Amīr almu’minīn) Mollah Omar ‒ may God preserve him ‒ who personally gave him the authority to run this camp.”



The document noted Mr Pantami as further saying, “To this date, in the community of the Prophet we have some awesome people, people of awesome faith, who follow the creed of the Sunna and thanks to whom the enemies of God are unable to find rest in this world.

“They have killed the Shaykh, the martyr Abdallah Yusuf Azzam ‒ may God have mercy on him ‒ but did the struggle end? They went on to strike Chechnya, and they killed many of them: did it end? […] Whenever one goes, another one comes, and he is even more awesome than the first,” Mr Pantami added.

In 2012, former President Goodluck Jonathan made a veiled reference to the fact that terrorists and their sympathisers had infiltrated his government. Boko Haram and other terror groups in the country have continued to terrorise Nigerians by the wanton destruction of lives and property.

These attacks on Pantami are coordinated by some vested interests in the mobile communications sector who want to rake in money at the expense of Nigerias security.

Some Western powers who are scared that Nigeria is gradually starting to use NIN to track down and keep taps on its population with a view to checking crimes,criminals and their sponsors are also involved. They want reap profit and do not care about Nigeria or its security. If NIN can reduce that profit when defaulters lines are deactivated, that's all they care for. Not Nigerias security or anything else.

Unfortunately to bring down a muslim public figure all it takes is to only pin a lie on him that he's a terrorist or fundamentalist or even a devout muslim and the uncritical and gullible Nigerians esp the xtian folks will take the matter for head without any scintilla of objectivity or fairness. You will wonder that are these the same people whose Holly book tells them to "seek ye the truth for the truth shall set you free". On every matter, from the concepts of justice, truth dress code or hijab to others where the Bible is unequivocal in its injunctions, today's xtians will always choose to side against their own Holly book just to oppose muslims, islam or bring a Muslim down.

At the rate at which today's xtians do not possess an iota of a sense of justice, truth, fairness, morals, virtues and other hitherto xtianic values, I wonder if today we truly have people who truly qualify as xtians. Most, if not all the xtians one comes across today do not stand for anything of value and virtue, and hence they fall for anything. Gone were the days when true xtians who valued truth, justice, fairness, moralities existed. The bunch of people we have masquerading as xtians today are so only in name. They do not have any values at all.

God punish evil people.

One wonders what he was trying to prove in the other thread ,you are a terrorist you are terrorist nothing to prove, what have been seen cannot be unseen, at least people like you have proven me right that Buhari is a terrorist sympathiser.

Did you not read his undenied personal quotes in the article?..

Has he denied those statements?

In as much as you want to be sentimental or emotional, his office affects our lives individually and we ought to have convincing proof on who controls it.

How did the DSS miss such vital information on his nomination?

So this dimwit Pantami celebrated the death of over 5000 people on 9/11?




Well, the CIA knows what to do

Pantami should be called in for questioning and full investigation......

All muslims are either terrorists or potential terrorists and that is the problem we have on earth, simple. By the time we start giving them chance, the problems will reduce

My question is this; how come this man is holding a political position when he should be jailed?..... This is s more reason why I won't do any NIN linkage because it's worrisome what this man will do with all those info.

DIS TERRORIST PATAMI AGAIN

Anybody spreading lies against someone will one day get to the top and be brought down with serious allegations that will destroy him for life

Is it coincident that as he is forcing people to hand over their details, an unknown group is threatening that they can find anybody?

This is the real identity of Mr Buhari. The fulani slaughter all over Nigeria is no accident, its all planned.

Well, the CIA knows what to do

Most muslims I know celebrated 9/11. They thought end of usa was near. Some muslims are hating saudi for being an us ally. Some think it is deception that Saudi will still bring us down because most 9/11 attackers were Saudi citizens.
Average Muslim sees us as enemy of islam.
CIA has profiled many Islamic leaders now occupying positions in government. They are on the terrorists watch list like pantami.
