Ahmad Gumi, Kaduna-based Islamic
cleric, says there is no difference between politicians and prostitutes.
According to Leadership, Gumi
made the statement while responding to questions from an audience after
delivering a paper at a programme organised by the Good Shepherd Major Seminary
in Kaduna.
A member of the audience
dominated by seminarians and Catholic priests had reportedly asked if Islamic
clerics have influence over Muslims who are politicians.
While responding, Gumi reportedly
said politicians often behave like prostitutes, hence they jump from one
political party to another.
“Most politicians lack ideology
and that is why they jump from one political party to another and there is no
difference between them and the prostitutes,” he reportedly said.
While presenting his paper titled
“preaching and conscience formation of society in Islam”, Gumi asked Nigerians
to be firm in their moral and religious beliefs at a time when insecurity on
the rise.
“Islam coming almost 600 years
after Christianity. As another system of values, logically has a stand about
the other established religions before it,” he was quoted to have said.
“First and foremost, it
recognizes the unity in the foundation of the Abrahamic theological faith of
monotheism. It recognizes the prophets and their revelations, and therefore
encourages dialogue and discussions by way of persuasions not arguments.
“With vices on the rise, vices of
every nature known and unknown, kidnappings, rape, ritual murders etc, genueine
men of truth should stand out as the moral voice of Sajitu in defiance to
injustice, prejudice, bigotry, hunger and share evil.
“The non Muslims should see Islam
as another system of values, the modern world cannot survive from the scourged
of societal ills without its recognition and acceptance as another solution to
salvage mankind.”
