Sheikh Gumi: the man of the moment
Sheikh Abubakar Gumi
Late Chief of Army Staff, Owoeye Azazi, it was who described Boko Haram as
PDP politics. Certainly, not to be outdone, Banditry in the North is nothing but APC Politics.What is going on today, gives credence to both assertions, above. While Owoeye Azazi is no more alive to clarify his statement, Sheikh Gumi from his deeds and words give flesh to the claim that banditry in the North has a lot in common with the ruling All Progressives Congress.
Sheikh Gumi whose favourite past time now is to hobnob with bandits has a lot to say about the bandits.
The problem with failure of leadership is that since nature abhors a vacuum, the emergency leaders especially when self appointed like Sheikh Gumi often make a lot of Faux pas. The worst from Gumi is to classify Nigerian soldiers as Muslims and Christians.
Now, no doubt, to subscribe to a religion is allowed but to categorize the soldiers as heroes and villains in terms of their religion is pure treason but who will cast the first stone?
Sheikh Gumi sees northern bandits as militants who are seeking Justice against criminality by Christian Nigerian soldiers. Haba!
For the records, Sheikh Gumi may be a religious leader but religion and politics are not mutually exclusive. Sheikh Gumi cannot claim not to know what almost every other person knows, that the bandits were imported under the nose of GEJ to prosecute the 2015 Elections.
The bandits were partly responsible for the capitulation of GEJ in the 2015 Elections. The strategy was to unleash the bandits on Nigerians, should the PDP refuse to concede defeat.
Unfortunately, for APC, the capitulation of GEJ left the APC with the headache of what to do with the bandits.
According, to Governor El Rufai, the bandits were offered money to leave Nigeria but they refused, talk of riding on the back of the Tiger and ending up in its belly!
Do you wonder why Gumi could do business with the bandits and not with Boko Haram, there you have your answer!

I am now totally confused about the crisis of violence and criminality in the country. It now looks like a no-man's-land. A place where criminals and their godfathers are in charge, spewing criminal heroes.

Yes, please.
DeleteThe situation of things this day is pointing out still that there may not be someone as the president of this country at Aso rock,every one comes out anytime to manipulate the polity with all manner of trash,especially from the northern Muslim arena.
ReplyDeleteLet the likes of Tinubu and other southern slaves see what they have put us through.
Exactly, my thoughts.
