MASSIVE SHUT- DOWN! Tinubu In SHOCK As Gumi Orders Nigerian Youth To Embark On Mass Protest Over Hardship
In a recent development, Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has called upon Nigerians to participate in a peaceful protest against the government of President Bola Tinubu. Gumi emphasized the importance of using peaceful demonstrations as a means to express grievances to the authorities.
In a widely circulated video, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi drew parallels to past protests, notably recalling former President Muhammadu Buhari’ s activism against the administration of Goodluck Jonathan.
Gumi highlighted the effectiveness of mass protests in compelling government attention, describing politicians as resilient but susceptible to public pressure. ” Politicians are very stubborn, ” Gumi remarked, ” it is mass protests that only disturb them. ”
He referenced global examples such as Sudan and Liberia, cautioning that while internal conflicts can escalate dangerously, Nigeria’ s diversity in ethnicity, religion, culture, tribes, and sects necessitates peaceful avenues for dissent.
The cleric underscored that protest remains the most comprehensible language to the government. Reflecting on historical precedence, Gumi noted that current legal restrictions on protests contrast sharply with the permissiveness observed during Buhari’ s ascent to power in 2015, when public dissent was openly endorsed.
” God willing, ” Gumi expressed, ” the protest will proceed peacefully, and the government must understand and positively respond to the language of protest. ” This appeal coincides with activist politician Omoyele Sowore’ s call for a revolutionary protest scheduled for August, aimed at highlighting the severe economic challenges plaguing Nigeria.

The call for peaceful protest has stirred mixed reactions across the nation. Supporters applaud Gumi’ s advocacy for civic engagement, viewing it as a democratic right to hold the government accountable. Conversely, critics argue that peaceful protests risk instability and could exacerbate existing social tensions.
President Bola Tinubu’ s administration has yet to issue an official response to Gumi’ s appeal. Observers await developments amidst heightened public discourse on the efficacy of peaceful protest as a tool for political change in Nigeria.
