Khamis Musa Darazo, a strong supporter of President Bola Tinubu and member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has called on the Presidency and the party’s national leadership to act quickly to stop some key members from leaving the party.
Darazo expressed deep concern over reports that former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, might leave the APC, describing it as a serious political setback for the party both in the North and across Nigeria.
He said, “Professor Pantami is not just a politician; he is an intellectual, reformer, and bridge-builder who has used knowledge, faith, and integrity to promote good governance and inspire young Nigerians.”
Darazo also warned that several influential figures in the APC were considering leaving, adding that the leadership must step in immediately to maintain unity and confidence within the party.
He praised Pantami’s performance as a minister under former President Muhammadu Buhari, saying his work in the communications and digital economy sector led to major innovation, job creation, and entrepreneurship growth.
According to him, losing Pantami would weaken the APC’s intellectual base and moral image while discouraging many young Nigerians who see him as a role model for integrity and visionary leadership.
“The APC’s strength lies in unity, inclusion, and visionary leadership,” Darazo added. “Every loyal member matters — especially someone like Professor Pantami, whose influence goes beyond party lines.”
