Dr. Ahmad Abubakar Mahmud Gumi
He took to his facebook page to express his opinion on
the forthcoming elections. He said “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”.
He added that, “People like me who had been all along
critical about the government dear speak or express my
own personal opinion if it’s not in support of Gen.
Buhari. On 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 whom are hausa speakers. Already a ‘cult’ is
formed.”
Gumi stressed that the most important priority is the
country’s peace and stability saying every Nigerian life
should be secured be it Muslim or Christian.
He stated that both parties have re-emphasized that the
2015 presidential contest is not a religious one and the
only ethical obligation on the clergy of both religions, is
to explain it to their congregations to avoid violence.
According to the Sheikh, “APC was ‘demonised’ by
elements in PDP as a Janjaweed 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” .
He further said that “this democracy has been
unconstitutional raped repeatedly by the military mighty
and polls rigging, yet your civility, patience and prayers
had always been our only remedy and the strength of
our unity” .
However, Gumi said that Nigeria doesn’t need another
religious tainted war, Boko Haram has already tormented all.
