An influential Nigerian Islamic scholar, Sheik Ahmad Abubakar Gumi, today warned President Goodluck Jonathan to resign or face humiliation in the 2015 election.
In a statement released earlier today, Mr. Gumi said, “For Nigerians to be safe, [President Goodluck Jonathan] has three options. He either resigns or becomes impeached as the dirt becomes overwhelming, or he is humiliated in a general election. This time around, [the possibility of] rigging a national election with such wanton scandals is almost nil.”
The cleric added: “What really matters most in life is today not yesterday or tomorrow. For today, Obasanjo has done his best to admonish and warn the nation. I salute his courage and reversal! How many of our leaders can say what he said?”
The outspoken religious preacher also talked about his close shave with death. “On Tuesday, August 14, 2012, at about 3.30 p.m. two men were attempting to plant an IED (improvised explosive device) as I was on my way to the mosque when it accidentally went off, killing both. The two bodies were whisked away by the army preventing even the BBC and VOA Hausa reporters from filming the bodies. To date the bodies are hidden and the culprits are not identified publicly.”
Also in strengthening Sheikh Gumi’s position, an on-line commentator wrote: “[Henry] Okah admitted that Jonathan masterminded the bombing in Abuja for political ends. Why should it be farfetched that Jonathan plans to use snipers to murder democracy? The amazing thing is that [President Barack] Obama and the European Union [leaders] are aware of this plan and have kept quiet. We are on our own. To stop the looming bloodshed which Nigerians are likely to witness, Jonathan must be impeached now. Is it normal for someone going into elections to behave the way Jonathan is behaving? He has told anyone who cares to listen that he does not care. Would someone like that normally win an election? The National Assembly needs to be brave and impeach this armed robber now.”

ReplyDeleteGo to Bayelsa/Rivers/CrossRiver/Delta, the best they can offer for any visitor is sex for money, why, mainly because of poverty. In the above places if you are a man and you can offer food (restaurant) be sure of adequate sex till you have enough. See, there are so many people in these area they don't know there father because their mothers were impregnated by visitors and foreigners. Go this places you will find a lot of half cast popularly referred to as molar-tress. There is no where in the country that has foreign bodies like the area mentioned above. To me it is a serious matter. In fact that is why you see a lot of frustrated people. I want some body to give a very good reply without sentiment. While waiting for your stupid answer, please have enough courage to tell the truth. Na today.
ReplyDeleteJonathan must go. Simple. Poverty is at its highest in the history of Nigeria. Kindergaten, wicked, clueless, irresponsible, drunkard president.
DeleteMr Gumi, advice your people the northerners to arrange for the division of Nigeria because it is as certain as death that GEJ will win the 2015 election and absolutely complete his tenure. If you think the northerners are not ready, use the national conference to suggest division. But be assured that Nigeria will never divide and GEJ will complete his second tenure and hand over the south eastern Nigerian president. O.E.D. Let's try and see.
ReplyDeleteGumi is right enough of killing
ReplyDeleteNaij is begger than GEJ.Our concern is Naij, not the senseless admintration ful of insecurity,curruption & all that.GUMI & OBASANJO keep up.
ReplyDeleteFoolish person, talking from your nyash. Look at your statement one will know that you have never travel to anther state since you were born. Just see your confused statement.
ReplyDeletePoverty has blind you mind. Instead of you to think with your brain you are thinking with your mouth. See you GEJ will win with which peoples vote ? It is people like you that are killing GEJ the more. If I am an Hausa man and I read message like this insulting my leader and you expect you mumu father to get my vote. Niger Deltans think, it not by militancy to win an election. Did you hear that Asari Dokubo has schools in Benin republic. Is not a shame. You can see that the share of his money he can not even used it to develop his own place or has everybody been educated in his community. So, to hell with your Oil reach nonsense. It is time you know that you people have been coursed with this oil & gas.
hahahaha we are waiting for d humiliation i am warning u bad peopel to leave Mr president alone becouse what u bad peopel think Is not what u are going to see when d time comes fools
ReplyDeleteGumi. After 2015 your fellow citizens will be in Niger and chad as a result of this SNC and we will know what you will have to complain about for not having all that free niger delta wealth to arrogantly live on. Times are changing and your people will will never get back that privilege anymore.
ReplyDeleteLet people like Gum and the rest should stop their stupid and unnecessary threats. if Jonathan decides to contest this election nothing will happen. Nigeria is much bigger than any person or group.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm! This matter big pass me o!
