Controversial and popular Islamic Scholar, Sheikh Abubakar Ahmad Gumi has called on Nigerians to vote for those who will not fight bandit terrorists if elected president in 2023.
The islamic cleric made the call barely less than 90 days to the 2023 general elections.
Speaking during a sermon, Sheikh Gumi urged Nigerians to vote for leaders who would negotiate with bandits when elected into office.
He described the bandits and terrorists as “our people,” adding that Nigeria’s next set of leaders should negotiate and give them what they want for peace to reign.
He said: “Don’t vote for those who will fight bandits. The fighters (bandits) are our people. So please vote for those who, after attaining power, will call and negotiate with our people (bandits) so as to give them what they want for peace to reign.”
Recall that the Labour Party flag bearer, Peter Obi recently had a meeting with Sheik Gumi in his Kaduna office where he promised to work with him on how to end banditry and terrorism in the north.
