Pantami: Buhari Has No Agenda To End Terrorism, HURIWA Affirms

The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA), has said President Muhammadu Buhari, has no agenda to end Islamic terrorism in Nigeria.
HURIWA made the remark while accusing Buhari of betraying his constitutional oath over his stance on the Minister of Communications and Digital Planning, Isa Pantami.
The frontline rights advocacy group was reacting to claims by former Director of the Department of State Services (DSS), Dennis Amachree, that Buhari neglected intelligence on the affiliation of Pantami to Taliban and Al-Qaeda before naming him into his cabinet.
HURIWA stated this in a statement by its National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, and National Media Affairs Director, Miss Zainab Yusuf, yesterday.
According to HURIWA, “The disclosure by a respected erstwhile Assistant Director of the Department of State Services (DSS), Dennis Amachree, that President Muhammadu Buhari discountenanced and neglected intelligence on the affiliation of Sheikh Ibrahim Ali Pantami to Taliban and Al-Quaeda before naming him into his cabinet has shown that President Muhammadu Buhari has no respect for his constitutional oath of office.
“Besides, the decision by the Federal Executive Council not to discuss the swirling controversy over the confession by the Minister of Communication and Digital economy that he once supported the teachings of Taliban and Al- Quaeda regarded as leaders of the global terror networks, is to put it mildly, unconscionable, wicked, insensitive, and irrational.
“The failure of President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the communications minister even after he confessed to have backed global terrorists that bombed the USA on September 11, 2001, shows that the government has no agenda to end Islamic terrorism in Nigeria.”
