Aisha Yusufu, Nigerian female activist has given the reason why she will not link her phone line with national identification number (NIN).
The activist who speak via her Twitter handle said that she rather stay without having phone line than to have her information in the hands of terrorist sympathizers.
Aisha in tweet with hashtag #PantiMustGo which demands the sacking or resignation of the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami.
Said “Let me repeat categorically what I have said before. I WILL NOT BE LINKING MY NIN to my phone number! I will rather not have a phone line than willingly give my information and have it in the control of a terrorist sympathiser and his cohorts #PantamiMustGo,” Yesufu tweeted.
The call for Pantami’s sacking or resignation is a result of a sermon he delivered in the past which had him allegedly sympathising with terrorist groups – Al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
However Nigerian government under the leadership of president muhammadu buhari has backed Pantami.
Statement by Garba Shehu in regards to the call for the resignations of Pantami stated that pantami has apologised for her wrong statement.
Reacting through a video in April, Yesufu said, “The Presidency is not Garba Shehu and Muhammadu Buhari. The Presidency is an institution and that institution should never be seen in any way whatsoever supporting someone who is now known to have been a terrorist sympathiser.
“We cannot be a nation that allows people who support terrorism to be out there in our public domain as public servants. We cannot have a minister of a sector that is so sensitive – as per our information, everything under that sector – be someone who is a terrorist sympathiser, whether has been, still is, repented or not.”
