Last week, Sheikh Gumi criticized the FCT minister for hosting the Israeli ambassador during a courtesy visit to his office.

He also alleged that President Tinubu’s government was at fault for appointing Wike as the Minister of FCT.

Gumi urged the president to dismiss the FCT minister, and issued a warning to President Tinubu regarding the situation.

The cleric further claimed that in the past, it was Christian soldiers who were responsible for the deaths of northern political leaders.

However, the Forum,  made up of statesmen and women disagreed with the cleric saying that “we totally condemn such unprovoked divisive statements from a divisive element who is seeking to destabilize the peace and unity of our dear county, Nigeria, for selfish reason.

“The utterance is toxic and it should not be accepted by any decent and sound minded person who loves peace and our Nigeria”.

“The constitution of the federal public of Nigeria gives power and right to any Nigerian irrespective of tribes, religion and political affiliation to be appointed to any position of power as long as that person operates within the limits of our law.

“What Nigeria needs now is a consolidation of it’s peace, unity and progress.

“We caution profiteers of religious fundamentalism and ethnicity, as well as agents of destabilization and instability to desist henceforth.

“We therefore stand with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Chief (Barr) Nyesom Wike. We indeed stand with Nigeria and, of course, Nigerian constitution for a better governance system for all Nigeria.”
