2015: Don't Run, Gumi Islamic Cleric Warns JONATHAN by Odumani: 4:17pm On Oct 25, 2014 |
PROMINENT Northern Islamic Cleric, Sheik Ahmad Gumi, Friday, warned President Goodluck Jonathan against contesting the 2015 Presidential election, saying that doing so may lead Nigeria into chaos and turmoil that would be unprecedented. He gave the warning in a statement he issued to journalists Friday in Kaduna, pointing out that the nation has had enough crisis. Besides, the statement accused Jonathan of “dangerously dividing Nigeria” along religious lines, just as he noted that the President sees himself as an Ijaw leader than of Nigeria as a whole. Gumi said: “We have never met despite the fact that we were all born and we lived for more than half a century in this great vast country Nigeria. It’s here we all grew up and were educated and I presume, except by divine prudence, it’s here that we will all be buried. “So, what truly matters is the legacy that we will bequest our children and the next generation of Nigerians to come. We will not want it a burnt country with hundreds of thousands of dead, maimed or displaced people because of the thoughtlessness and recklessness of its stewards.” Gumi reminded President Jonathan that the mantle of the leadership of this country was given to him under oath, stressing: “Unfortunately, many people including me before God believe you broke some of your oath.” Gumi argued: “I’ll only need to refer you back to the honest open letter advice you were given by your political godfather. You appear more Ijaw than Nigerian. It’s seldom fathers will deceive their children. Yet you never listen. And sadly by your recalcitrance you are dangerously leading this nation to chaos and turmoil that only God knows were it will end. “Muslims have officially registered to you on occasions your partiality. Northern groups have complained about your bias. The youth about your neglect. You have divided the nation gravelly on the religious divide. “Already, we heard a call in a church that you are now a saviour. Now, not of Nigeria, but the church in Nigeria. With this religious zeal on both sides, each side looking at the wrong people for salvation, the nation is heading towards disaster.” He continued: “It’s unfortunate that your stand on many issues have made you into a polarising figure while the exalted office you occupy needs a nationalistic one. Surely, with the Christian votes and northern PDP followers, you can win another election but you will also set the nation into another turmoil because that segment of the nation that rejects you do so because they believe rightly or wrongly you are involved negatively in the Boko Haram saga. “The natural thing any good leader will do in this situation is to step down for a person all the segments of the nation will have confidence with for their well-being. A credible person that will not stir apprehension. The decision is not about your rights but about responsibility. “Therefore, as you pray in the Holy Land seek for God’s indulgence to show you the light of honour and do the right thing. It’s God’s command that Nigeria stay united and ‘what therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” Gumi added: “A word of wisdom says: ‘He who consults is never disappointed and he who seeks God’s choice never regrets’. So, please don’t brush it aside, call men of wisdom to advice you too.” source: gurdianmobile.com |

So because the almajiri northerners will unleash mayhem on the country if a northerner is not voted will now make GEJ not to contest. If GEJ contesting and winning the 2015 election will make Nigeria burn, let it be so then. Enough of these shits |
