As massive outrage and demand for his sacking continued on social media on Saturday, Pantami renounced his controversial comments on terrorism. If a sensitive public office holder has made a statement that is in connection to terrorists, there is something fishy about it.

For now, it is not in the interest of Nigerians and national security to continue to keep him in office,” he said.
