Sheikh Isa Pantami is on America’s Watch List of persons with ties with the Boko Haram. Terrorists & their apologists are in charge of Nigeria.
Pantami is the man Nigerians entrusted with their BVN & NIN. So your inability to buy & register new SIM cards is an economic sabotage.

Some news claim Isa Pantami has been allegedly placed on USA Terror Watchlist for possible ties to Boko Haram and Al Qaeda.
To have a serving Minister with ties to terrorists will damage Nigeria’s reputation.
If this is true, that will be insane.
Nigeria’s Govt should speak up. pic.twitter.com/SgqYCs2CNM— #OurFavOnlineDoc 🩺🇳🇬🇬🇧💎 (@DrOlufunmilayo) April 12, 2021
US: There's not enough evidence that prove that there was a lekki massacre.
Twitter NG: Why must we listen to the US? Why must the US tell us what is true or not?
US: There's a possible connection between Isa Pantami and BH.
Twitter NG: The US cannot lie. It's definitely true

Same Isa Pantami that had face-off with Late Mohammed Yusuf on BokoHaram’s ideology? BokoHaram wanted to kill him cos even last year, Shekau threatened him.
I checked US FBI website on wanted terrorists & their collaborators https://t.co/6VjJlPo659 & can’t find anything on him
