Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmed
Gumi, has suggested the kind of Nigerian that should succeed President
Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
Noting that the north had learnt
its lesson, he appealed to citizens to ignore politicians who have been in the
system and elect a new face.
Gumi told Sunday Sun that the
country needs a person who is “alert, intelligent and with a large heart”.
“He should not take revenge. He
should be able to forgive. He should be able to rehabilitate and not killing or
imprisoning. His mind should not be about catching people, but forgiveness and
correctness. Above all, he must be intelligent.”
“Let’s put our hands together to
salvage this country. The crop of politicians we have now cannot help us. Their
heads are hot. We need cool headed people who will look at things holistically
and move the country forward. A wounded lion cannot take this country out of
the woods.”
Gumi further lamented that Buhari
was running the country according to his dictates.
“He has a pre-determined mind on
how he wants to run his government: squeeze corrupt officials, close borders.
This is what he has in mind and this is what he’s pursuing to the letter.
“If you want to get close to him,
tell him this man is in jail and he will tell you that’s good. You cannot catch
all the thieves in Nigeria. You can only catch those ones you don’t like.
“But God is a God of justice. You
either catch all or pardon all and then you draw a line. If you draw a line,
whoever commits the same mistake can be tried by law and not your personal
decision.
“He knows what is happening and
he likes it. This is his style. This is the style I don’t like myself and that
was why I voiced out my opposition. If I have not spoken, people will say look
at these people they have kept quiet and now we are suffering.
“Nobody can point a finger at me
and I thank God for that. So, we need to rethink. We need to come back together
to save this country because it is a beautiful country”, he said.
