BREAKING: Gumi Sweating Profusely As Security Agents Told To Go After Him Over Attack On Wike (DETAILS)

Yekini Nabena, a former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has called on the country’s security agencies to apprehend Kaduna-based Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, for his recent public tirade against the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.

In a video posted on his official Facebook page last Thursday, Gumi referred to Wike as a “Satan” for hosting the Israeli Ambassador to Nigeria in his office. The cleric also asserted that President Bola Tinubu would be prevented from serving for eight years.

Nabena, in a statement released on Sunday, emphasized that the minister must be protected throughout his tenure and cautioned that Gumi and others of his ilk would be held accountable by the Niger Delta people if anything untoward happens.

The APC leader denounced what he described as a sense of entitlement displayed by certain ‘ethnic and religious bigots’ in the Northern region of Nigeria. He argued that this sense of entitlement not only fractures the nation but also fosters a perception of Southerners as inferior, in a country where everyone should have equal rights.

Nabena asserted that the people of the Niger Delta and Southerners in general would no longer passively tolerate individuals like Sheikh Gumi disrespecting them, regardless of political or religious affiliations. He unequivocally stated that no Nigerian is more of a Nigerian than anyone else.

He said: “My intervention in the recent controversial statement is not about the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike alone, it is about the rights of the Niger Delta people and the Southerners in general. At this stage, we expect all the voices of reasoning to speak out because the sense of entitlement of the likes of Sheik Gumi is becoming more satanic.

“How can you justify the rationale behind some Northerners heading some positions that are naturally meant for the people of Niger Delta and the South? Up till date a Northerner is still the GMD of NNPCL.

“If religious and ethnic bigots like Gumi and others are saying a Southern Christian, especially from the oil rich Niger Delta, can not hold the positions of FCT Ministry and the Senate President, we demand explanations on what qualifies a Northern Muslim in the leadership of agencies like NIMASA, NNPCL, NPDC, NLNG, NPA, and so on.”

While cautioning against “reckless public comments” that could lead to a more divided country, Nabena called on the presidency to urgently make a bold statement and reaffirm the right of any Nigerian to hold public office anywhere in Nigeria.

“I will call on the presidency to deliberately caution Sheik Gumi and his co-travellers against statement that is capable of causing disunity and encouraging sense of entitlement.

“I will also call on the security agencies to take Gumi’s reckless but deliberate statement serious. Sheik Gumi should be arrested, questioned and prosecuted.

“Let it also be on record that we the Niger Delta sons and daughters will hold Sheik Gumi responsible if any evil befall Nyesom Wike throughout his days in office as FCT Minister,” Nabena warned.
