Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra,
IPOB, on Monday said popular Kaduna-based scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi was a
terrorist.
Kanu made the assertions while responding to Gumi’s remark
equating him and other Biafra and Oduduwa Republic agitators to Boko Haram
terrorists.
Gumi had likened Kanu and those agitating for Biafra and
Oduduwa Republic to Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau.
Condemning the remark, the IPOB leader asked the Islamic
cleric to stop comparing freedom fighters to terrorists.
Speaking through IPOB’s National Publicity Secretary, Emma
Powerful, Kanu stressed that Gumi and those seeking the integration of bandits
are the sponsors of terrorism in Nigeria.
A statement by Powerful reads: “We the global family of the
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), under the leadership of our great leader,
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, read with incredulity a provocative remark credited to a
filthy looking so-called acclaimed Islamic cleric in the mould of Sheik Gumi
that bandits and freedom fighters are the same. Gumi in the said media report,
allegedly compared agitators of Biafra and Oduduwa republics with his Fulani
bandits rampaging the North and ravaging the entire South. Such a statement if
true, has simply unmasked and exposed the real identify of this man
masquerading as an Islamic cleric when in actual fact he is one of the hardened
supporters of Fulani terrorism.
“With such ignorance ladden uttrance from a supposed Islamic
scholar, the world does not need to look far for the real sponsors of banditry
and terrorism in Nigeria. We now know those behind the killing spree and evil
agenda to decimate indigenous ethnic populations and non-muslim communities
across Nigeria.
“Gumi is a terrorist calling peaceful agitators terrorists.
He has just revealed his true identity. Now the world knows those to be held
responsible for the daily bloodbath in Nigeria. Gumi is not just an apologist
for terrorism in Nigeria but a certified bandit in his own right and must know
that a miscreant is better than a murderous bandit any day any time. He should
also know that those holding meetings with killers and advocating integration
of bandits and other terrorist groups into an imaginary amnesty program are
nothing but their sponsors.
“Before now Nigerians were deceived into believing that
bandits and other agents of terror on rampage all over Nigeria were invisible
and without a fixed address. How come this pretender and self-acclaimed Islamic
cleric knew where to find the bandits? He even posed for a picture with gun
wielding murderers and was very proud of it. How was it that this man managed
to locate the hideout of these mass murderers but Nigeria Airforce cannot? How
come there hasn’t been any invasion or bombing of any these Bandit Settlements
in the North but the same Nigeria Airforce were quick to deploy fighter jets to
terrorise innocent citizens in Orlu?
“Not only did Sheik Gumi wine and dine with their bandits,
he has also suddenly become their advocate. He has gone to the extent of
comparing blood suckers with self-determination activists. What a national
embarrassment!
“It’s an insult to freedom fighters all over the world to be
compared with blood-sucking demons in human clothing like Fulani herdsmen. If
we may ask Gumi, going by his lame argument, is Nicola Sturgeon the leader of
Scotland a terrorist or bandit? Are the bandits he was drinking Burukutu with
in the forests of Zamfara peace ambassadors? We want to let Gumi and his fellow
Fulani Boko Haram and bandits understand that Biafrans will never allow Fulani
to take any inch of Biafraland under the guise of one Nigeria fake unity.
“In his warped mind, Sheik Gumi can no longer differentiate
between self determination which is a constitutionally guaranteed right and
terrorism which is a crime. This hypocrisy has confirmed our earlier position
that terrorism and banditry in Nigeria are common agenda of the caliphate.
ISWAP, bandits and Fulani herdsmen are one and the same people whose common aim
is to decimate the indigenous populations in Nigeria and ultimately Fulanise
the country. Sheikh Gumi should remove that dirty rag he is fond of wearing on
his head to allow fresh air to cool his brain. Perhaps then he can reason like
a human being.”
