The drift between the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa and the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Pantami is not hitting the pause button anytime soon, as both have taken to Twitter to fight dirty.

Isa Pantami and Abike Dabiri-Erewa fightRecall that Abike Dabiri-Erewa had earlier accused Pantami of telling security to send out NIDCOM staff out of the office given to them by the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC).

He wrote “THIS IS A FAT LIE FROM HER: The owner of the building @NgComCommission has faulted her lies on their social media platforms. The minister has never given that directives to any gunman. We need to be very objective in reporting. I have never sent any gunmen there, & I have no one.”

However, Dabiri-Erewa was not going to be put off that easily, as she said the minister did all he did because she is a woman.

She wrote “An Islamic scholar should not lie Hon Minister. ( PhD)You did that to me cos I am a woman. Your disrespect for women is legendary Left the ugly incident behind me since Feb. But pls release all our office equipment. Public office is transient [email protected]”

Buttressing her claim, see shared a video of NIDCOM staff allegedly being refused entry into their building.

It seems we are however yet to see the last of this conflict.
