Nigeria’s Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, has revealed that there are plans to release doctored videos that will tarnish his image.
The Minister who has been in the eye of the storm after old videos of him showing support for terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda surfaced online stated that the videos will be released by his detractors.
According to a statement released by his media aide, Uwa Suleiman, the Minister said his office has receipts of credible intelligence of the next stage of his detractors to release videos to injure his image.
“We are in receipt of credible intelligence that the same forces, who have been championing a well-coordinated and richly funded campaign against Pantami, are now unto the next stage of their diabolic project.
“This time round, the forces of evil are shopping for willing partners as well as their usual avenues to release doctored videos purporting to show the minister in an alleged compromising condition as a way of creating injury on his image.
“We are least surprised by this recent move which is a clear intensification of their desperation, having failed in their assault on the personality of the minister, despite their previous efforts.”
Pantami also said the notice was to alert the public to the latest plan and to warn the perpetrators about the consequences of such action. Further, the statement said that the Minister would not sit idly to see his reputation as a community leader, Islamic scholar and public servant being muddled in the mud by ”paid agents.”
