Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, a Kaduna-based Islamic cleric, has blamed
the “Fulani debacle” in Southern Nigeria on pro-agitators, Nnamdi Kanu and
Sunday Igboho.
Gumi said the kidnap incidents linked to some criminal
elements among Fulanis residing in the Southwest, for which Igboho banked on to
issue an eviction notice, is not sufficient reason to call for Nigeria’s break
up.
He spoke at a forum tagged: “Islam and the Special Role of
Religious Leaders in Peacemaking in the Banditry Crisis in Northwest Nigeria”
and a clip of the event was posted on his Facebook wall on Thursday.
Gumi said: “So the Fulani debacle in Southern Nigeria, is
capitalised on by the secessionist movements of Kanu and Igboho as one of the
causes of the agitation for separation.
“Evidentially, the crisis is another fallout of this same
crisis. It’s just a small screen: how many Fulani people have kidnapped people
that will warrant secession?
“How many Fulanis were massacred and killed in these states
that will warrant secession?”
