Controversial Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has advised
the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government on a step to take with
the Indigenous People of Biafra.
Gumi urged the Federal Government to negotiate with the
Nnamdi Kanu-led IPOB group.
Speaking with Dailypost, the Kaduna-based cleric said the
government should be frank in negotiating with the Kanu led group.
According to Gumi: “Government
should try to be frank and engage even with IPOB’s people. Government should
call them ‘you come and sit down let’s talk, what is your problem’.
“Government should call them for a dialogue; see nobody
doubts Nigeria. The problem is that the government is not being considerate
even with these herdsmen.”
Kanu and his group have been advocating for the
actualization of Biafra.
They anchored their agitation on the alleged marginalization
of the Southeast by the government.
Recall that former presidential candidate of the Young
Progressive Party (YPP), Prof. Kingsley Moghalu, had called on the Federal
Government to discuss with Kanu and other secessionists in the country.
Moghalu insisted that Kanu and other secessionists in the
country do not posses a threat to Nigeria’s unity.
The former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria,
however, said Buhari’s lopsided appointment and fair treatment of Fulani
herdsmen was responsible for the division in the country.
