Irked by the allegations and development of the news, Pantami debunked the stories and emphatically stated that: “My personal driver is Mai Keffi, a practicing Christian. I also have a Christian, Ms. Nwosu, as my secretary and Dr. Femi, also a Christian, as my technical adviser.

If I did not like Christians or I did not see them as my brothers and sisters, I would not have been working with them for so long. I employed more Christians than Muslims on my staff because I believe in merit and competence over ethnic or tribal sentiments.

I have never condoned terrorism and I reject any affiliation to terror groups. I have long preached peaceful coexistence amongst people of every faith and ethnicity”, Pantami was quoted to have told Peoples Gazette.
