A Prominent politician Hajiya Naja’atu Mohammed has firmly debunked viral social media reports claiming she sent emissaries to reconcile and apologize to the former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Prof. Isa Ali Pantami.
The controversy stems from a recent interview where Mohammed publicly criticized the former minister—who is also the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate for Gombe State in the 2027 election—labeling him a liar and pretender.
Following the interview, reports emerged online suggesting that Mohammed had backtracked and sent representatives to Pantami’s camp to sue for peace.
Reacting to the claims, Mohammed categorically denied the reports, asserting that neither she nor any of her coordinators have had any meeting or discussion regarding an apology or reconciliation
“Even if my people met him, I am not aware,”Hajiya Naja’atu stated.
She alleged that the false reports were manufactured and circulated by Pantami’s supporters to create a misleading impression that she had retracted her statements.
Mohammed concluded that the fabrication of the reconciliation story only reinforces her initial characterization of the former minister, describing it as another lie and labeling him a liar in politics.
