Igboho to Gumi: You can’t threaten FG to secure negotiation contract with bandits
As criticism continues to surround the recent reported outburst of the northern Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, over the appointment of some Christians into strategic positions, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Igboho, stated on Tuesday that the cleric cannot use subtle threats to secure his negotiation contract with bandits under the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
Adeyemo emphasised that Tinubu’s choice of his ministers and their activities should not allegedly be used as a decoy by Gumi to seek reckoning or make discreet threats to obtain the job of negotiating with mindless bandits and terrorists, as he did under the immediate past government of ex-President Muhammadu Buhari.
It is worth noting that a video clip of the popular Islamic cleric decrying the appointment of southern Christians by Tinubu to head strategic positions in the North, along with Wike’s recent hosting of Israeli Ambassador to Nigeria, Michael Freeman, in his Abuja office, has generated criticism from some quarters.
