A prominent Nigerian Islamic cleric, Ahmad Gumi, said Tuesday he has been threatened for not supporting Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

The Kaduna-based cleric raised the alarm on Tuesday in a Facebook post titled, “PDP v APC: It’s Not about Religion.”
He said his children have also been receiving calls from persons who use unknown telephone numbers to threaten them.

“People like me who had all along been critical about the government can longer speak or express personal opinion if it is not in support of Gen. Buhari,” said Shiekh Gumi.

PDP v APC: it’s not about religion.

Surely there is religion in politics and politics in religion. However the 2015 PDP v APC is not about religion. It’s a time bomb and God is not the author of mischief.

Security members have clamped down on APC members and took away their computers, while some irrational youth are threatening the lives of PDP members with their families in the North. PDP posters are vandalized in some places.
People like me who had been all along critical about the government dear (dare) speak or express my own personal opinion if it’s not in support of Gen. Buhari. One must be bribed or a PDP agent. Just this early morning around 2.30am my three male children individually got threatening phone calls from a private number who are Hausa speakers.
Already a ‘cult’ is formed.

All these are harbingers of what is coming up when anyone of the contestants is declared loser. With intimidation from both sides, it shows that a truly one hundred percent free and fair election will be an illusion.
Yet it’s the only one eye we have so we have to do with the cake half-baked.

What is now paramount and of highest priority is peace and stability. Every life must be protected; minorities – Muslims and Christians – should be secured also, without putting an extra burden on the already exhausted military and police.
It’s good that both presidential candidates of the PDP and APC have re-emphasized that the 2015 presidential contest is not a religious one. The two parties have also reiterated the same. Therefore, the 2015 elections is not a Crusade v Jihad and consequently there is no martyrdom. The only ethical obligation on the clergy of both religions, Christians and Muslims, is to explain it to their congregations to avoid violence.

Nigeria doesn’t need another religiously tainted war. The Boko Haram has already tormented all.
APC was ‘demonized’ by elements in PDP as a “supporter of APC” party to the extent that they were pushed to take a pastor instead of a nominal Christian as their vice presidential candidate. This in turn has nationally brought another dangerous innovation and dimension into the dirty game of power struggle.

Now men of religion will surely be messed up and ‘dirtied’. Next as Muslims become sensitized too, a Sheikh will soon be on the list and a u-turn to another religious conflict – inter-faith and extra faith will ensue. Thanks to the recklessness of both parties that have proven no matter what they claim; are still self -centered and egocentric.

The choice of a pastor to deputize for Gen. Buhari is meant to shake to the core the Christians who were made to see the candidate as a religious fanatic and also the Muslims alike who saw the General as having some Islamic aura. It should then effectively neutralized the ‘demonization’ of PDP as a Christian party. It’s now the Church not just Christians that have a foot engrossed in APC. A privilege the Mosque cannot be said to enjoy in any of the two parties.

Therefore both parties are a group of Nigerian Muslims and Christian’s joined together for a common. Each with its winning slogan and strategy. Each can only promote his/her religion on personal basis but the union is purely secular and worldly. The essence of our democratic union.

So no Muslim or Christian should be demonized for joining any of the parties. Muslims and Christians should all freely choose which party they like without any compromise on their religious obligations. It’s a matter of mundane desires and preferences. No party is holy or is making brief for the Almighty God.

Therefore, you as a voter, take all precautionary steps, legal and practical, to vote and protect your rights. But never violence.

As for Islam for which I speak for, since there are Muslims on both sides, any Muslim who will kill or die fighting another Muslim will be condemned to Hell for eternity. Likewise, whoever that will also kill another non-Muslim Nigerian because of the constitutional treaty of peaceful coexistence between Nigerians will not smell the fragrance of Paradise.

In a Hadith narrated by both Al-Bukhari and Muslim, the Noble Prophet said: “when two Muslims fight each other with their swords, the killer and the killed are in Hell”

In another Hadith, the Noble Prophet said: “whosoever will kill any soul of non-Muslim under peace treaty will never smell the fragrance of Paradise which can be found from a distance of forty years,” narrated by Al-Bukhari.

Islam abhors mutiny and treason which are culpable felonies, deception, and breach of trust, rigging, lying, material and spiritual corruption. And one may not need to ask which Nigerian or party is not a culprit to any of these divine offences? Therefore the word is let us take it easy and live in peace.

This democracy has been unconstitutionally raped repeatedly by the military might and polls rigging, yet your civility, patience and prayers had always been our only remedy and the strength of our unity.

Therefore don’t kill or expose yourself to political violence for naught. This world is going to end. And the day you die, you will only be judged by Divine ruling not by the Nigerian Supreme Court decisions.

Whoever calls you out to violence ask him to show up himself and his children first. This way we can altogether avoid post-election violence, chaos and anarchy.

Let us remind ourselves, we saw that when Boko Haram takes over a village both Muslims and Christians run helter-skelter for their lives to Federal government controlled areas. Meaning there can be a situation worse than what you are in now. Therefore, thank God and never allow yourself to be used in violence in anticipation of a better life, while you will end up lamenting over our previous situation as bad as it may appear.

“The near event draws nigh. * There shall be none besides Allah to remove it.”

May God bring peace, security and stability to our country? Amin.

Buhari is intolerant and would only thrive in dictatorship where his decree 4 would be at his whims and caprices. However, he cannot be an elected president because he is perpetually unelectable as stated aptly by El Rufai. You can also ask his new friend Tinubu: is Buhari perpetually unelectable?

hmmmmmmmmm

Apc, the EMPIRE of EVIL MINDS ... This is what we should expect from their camp if by any mistake buhari is voted in.... Taking us back to d stone age... GEJ continue ur presidency till 2019 Joooooooooor!!

Lol. So many pple criticize both GMB and GEJ. Pls stop hustling for unnecessary attention. Who sabi u? One man one vote ....

The real Nigerians are angry, of course if you're passionate about the state of this Country after 54yrs you'll need an outlet for your anger.


Fuel prices stay up despite it being at an all time low globally, Electricity tarrifs about to shoot up without improvement in power supply, Generator fumes and noise won't grant you a goodnight sleep etc, Of course somone will soon snap and a careless Jonathanian shouting GEJ 2019 will be the victim.

They have seen Buhari as an escape from the current situation and if you dare threaten that "escape plan", that "Revolution" Nigerians have always talked about will start from your head.

If Buhari should lose again, Those cows up north will be on rampage again, killing and maiming innocent people.

Was it buhari that ordered his boys to give you threat? The general doesnt even have time for that. Nigerians love buhari, many are obsessed with him, u cant blame nigerians, i dont belive u live in nigeria since 1999, if you did and see what pdp has turned nigerians to in their own country, u would see why nigerians see people who mention that word gej are regarded as enemies of the country, agent of darkness and saTANists. To be on a safer side dont mention gej again so that u dont get linched

I critisized and analyse some of buhari statement and got banned for 8months 2weeks.

trying hard to stand logic on its head. How many people have been ban by the mods for critisizing gej? I was banned ceremoniously by a mod with itchy fingers for 8months and 2weeks for critising some of buhari statement

It's obvious on Facebook and other social sites, APC supporters feel it's cool to criticize, abuse, and insult the president freely and I th they derive joy in seeing the insults rolling in but once you counter them or speak against Buhari, they attack you and quote long stories for you to see how saintly Buhari is

u better shut-up if you don't have any meaningful message to pass preacher !
is it only that has criticized Buhari ? so why are you the only one getting threat message liar
even if you did receive one, check yourself! or how did he come to conclusion it involves Buhari.

^ welcome back ....u better watch your mouth so you wont be banned again ..lols

A country that refuse to learn from history.
When the oppression returns , they will begin to disturb God with all kinds of prayers for deliverance like they did in the 80s.
I am sure even God will look away.

lol.
I pity you.
The man is a big man, he can always find his way out.
It's common citizens like you that bear the brunt of oppressive and intolerant govts.

Sheikh Gumi an Islamic cleric position in the North can be likened to Pastor Adeboye position in the South. Pastor Adeboye has done the necessity by distancing himself and church from the politics which I expect the likes of Gumi to do too. When you know the truth is too heavy for you to say, you distance yourself from its corridor.

Receiving threats message is not about APC/PDP or GEJ/GMB, it is about people are tired of lies and are ready to protect the upholders of the truth and all it stands for. I wouldn't say sheikh has not been bought if he could be seen openly canvassing for continuity of a failled government.

So, I advise Gumi to distant himself from politics if he can't stand by the truth.

Nah wetin concern me wit diz nw!!! Abeg!! Network no dey hia oooo!!!!

You think your subjective truth is universal truth?

Where were you when Asari Dokubo threatened that 2015 will be bloody if jonathan does not win.Don't be a hypocrite.

The terrorist called buhari remains UNELECTABLE FOR LIFE!!
GEJ carry go!!

Hahaha speak for yourself please! Nigerians are not obsessed with buhari, Nigerians don't in any way love buhari. I don't know all you APC fanatics keep getting all these silly ideas from.

Anyway, it is agreed that GEJ's government has had some shortcomings but that doesn't mean we will vote him out. There's always room for a second chance. One thing I know will not happen is putting a half baked, almost illiterate mallam as my leader. It can never happen. Is it what a technocrat like GEJ has found hard to do that the mallam buhari will come & do, no! Abeg, wake up & smell the coffee, buhari oozes failure & 2015 is sure as hell failure for aboki buhari. . . . . . GEJ till 2019!

Alfa is only seeking attention and sympathy.

No room for distractions.. we are charged and made up our mind for change. Buhari all the way.

Nigeria will flourish again.

God enthroned and dethroned whoever he wishes. Sheik Gumi understands this tenet. Religion leaders and traditional rulers shouldn't be seen openly engaging in politics. Whoever passes excreta has invited the flies. Buhari is a god among the Notherners. He too understands this fact.

This man is foolissh.

Why is he seeking attention by any means

The north and sw are not majority. GEJ did not win in the north during the last elections. He only got 2.8m votes from the sw out of a total of 22m votes
