Nigeria journalist and freedom campaigner, David Hundeyin has unearthed an usually mysterious media partner of Nigeria’s Ministry of Communication and Digital Economy under Isa Ali Pantami.
According to him, it is AfrikiyTv, an exclusively Islamic channel.
This is following detailed revelations describing Minister Pantami as Islamic extremist which he denied.
“Gentle reminder that the @FMoCDENigeria’s media partner under @DrIsaPantami‘s tenure is not @channelstv, @TVCconnect, @aitdotlive or even @NTANewsNow. It is @AfrikiyTv, an exclusively Islamic TV station w/o a website. Click on the link in the quoted tweet and see for yourself.”, he said.
But people were not pleased:
Isaac Obasi @ObasiFoundation·Replying to @DavidHundeyin@FMoCDENigeriaand 6 others : This is so revealing and is now very clear that the lifeless and corrupt bigot @MBuhari has an underlying agenda and @DrIsaPantami is the one to carry them out. @MaziNnamdiKanu was very correct after all about the intentions of Buhari which we can now see clearly. Failed nation.
@lumide0b·Replying to @DavidHundeyin@FMoCDENigeriaand 6 others said: This is more Damning than anything else. Cause it shows very delibrate intent. How can you skip NTA to use an Islamic channel for official communication?? The same NTA that wanted a billion dollars!!
Pantami was also caught on camera calling out members of a political party as infidels.
