Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, has narrated how gunmen chased staff of the commission from office on the orders of Isa Ali Pantami, Minister of Communications and Digital Economy.
Dabiri-Erewa made this known while highlighting the challenges of NIDCOM since it was established.


The former lawmaker said her commission no longer had a space to work from after Pantami ordered gunmen to throw them out from an office the Nigeria Communication Commission gave to them.


In a video posted on the website of NIDCOM and tweeted by Dabiri-Erewa on Sunday, she said, “The office we got, given to us by NCC but we were actually driven away by the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Mr Isa Pantami, within two days, they drove us out with guns and what happened? The place was given to us by NCC.


“You know we all help each other, NCC as an agency of government, said there is a place you can use to settle in, and just as we settled in, I was in Ethiopia when I got a call. I thought that it was a joke. I came back from Ethiopia on Thursday, this happened on Tuesday, by Friday when I went to the office, guns, armed men had taken over the place. I thought it was a joke, but here is the thing, I’m a government employee, so is he. It’s a government business.


“I have complained officially but we let it be. He wants the place, let him take it. That place is still there, a whole floor is still vacant. As I speak with you, all our items are locked up. I don’t have computer, I don’t have printers, everything has been locked up.


“So after COVID-19, we are hoping that we can get a space and move in. These things locked are personal printers, personal laptops of our very dedicated staff because when you are just starting a lot of things are not there.”

Lawlessness at its peak!

The same Isa Ali Pantami that wants to mine people's data the other day.

Power is Transient & Justice is Eternal.

"Gunmen", Not police or soldiers.

Well, It doesn't matter. This administration is known for its lawlessness and totalitarianism.

That's how the Master treats their slaves.

[color=royalblue]In all sincerity, that her commission is useless

Nigerians in Diaspora Commission

Like what duties do they carry, that cannot be embedded in that of a ministry? Just increasing cost of governance unnecessarily

That said, I wonder why nobody likes to follow due process anymore in this country. Why chase her out like a thief?[/color]

Too many kids here. Little child, face your books so you can make something of your life. I really hope you're not more than 12 years because if you are, I feel very sorry for your parents and the resources wasted to raise you.

It is not too late though, I know Nigerians are very proud people and hate being corrected. If you like, insult me but for your own good, start educating yourself so you can be a full functioning, aware adult.

[color=royalblue]I just told my parents.
They said I should thank you for feeling sorry

And why should I insult you?
No naa

If you talk too much, I use the report button. It's more efficient than an insult[/color]

Lol.

All na the same APC oooo.

A house divided against itself cannot stand.


Anyways Nigeria under the rudderless regime of Buhari is quickly regressing to a failed state.

Funny headline

Who else noticed that appointees from the north treat their Yoruba counterparts in the same government with a little less respect.

This scenario was totally uncalled for.

But Abike too should have handled the matter internally rather than going to the media, except she is sure she won't get justice.

The entertainment/joke called "NIGERIA" everyday na shocking revelations dem dey serve us

Implosion from within

Failed govt , another indictment on the cluelessness of President Buhari again

Both abiku and isa patani are mad.

The Yorubas are shameless people if not they could have been ashamed of themselves by now, but wait that Abike Dibari is she married or single? Am asking for a friend
