"Show me one person he has killed. He has not killed anybody. He has not ordered the killing of anybody. Discard the fake news.
The man is stabilising a government among a section of youths, which we want them to come and join in nation-building. They should not throw him away. Leave him. He is not a terrorist sympathiser.
"And you people are fighting them. No. You should get more people like Pantami and put them in power. It will stabilise. Don't remove him. You'll regret," he stated.
