The Northern Elders has Forum has disowned Ahmed Gumi for his utterances against President Bola Tinubu and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike.
In a public speech made in Abuja, the Northern Elders criticised Gumi’s remarks as harmful to the country and treacherous. They said “Gumi’s attacks were unprovoked, malicious, inciting and a deliberate misinterpretation of our history”
According to the forum, “such does not represent the collective view and interest of the North, and certainly not Nigeria’s interest.”
The Muslim priest had also requested that President Tinubu fires Wike for his selection as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.
The preacher went on to say that Christian soldiers have previously murdered northern political leaders.
The Forum, on the other hand, disapproved of the cleric’s position and declared, “We absolutely reject such unprovoked divisive utterances from a divisive element who is aiming to destabilise the peace and unity of our dear country, Nigeria, for selfish motive.
“The utterance is toxic and it should not be accepted by any decent and sound-minded person who loves peace and our Nigeria.
“The constitution of the federal public of Nigeria gives power and right to any Nigerian irrespective of tribe, religion and political affiliation to be appointed to any position of power as long as that person operates within the limits of our law.
“What Nigeria needs now is a consolidation of its peace, unity and progress.
“We caution profiteers of religious fundamentalism and ethnicity, as well as agents of destabilization and instability to desist henceforth.
“We therefore stand with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Chief (Barr) Nyesom Wike. We indeed stand with Nigeria and, of course, the Nigerian constitution for a better governance system for all Nigeria.”
Peace shouldn’t be sabotaged for whatsoever especially religion
Its absurd for a cleric to be this biased
