I am a Christian. I was born one and I will die one. I take my faith very seriously and I count it as being more important to me than anything else in life.
I also believe that where we see danger signals and identify circumstances and individuals that may threaten that peace and harmony, we must challenge and expose them, call them to order before it is too late and bring them to the attention of the authorities. He is a believer in the doctrine of ‘Taqfir’ and a committed adherent of the hardline Salafist ‘Wahabi’ philosophy which forms the bedrock and foundation of the evil organisation that the Arabs describe as ‘Daesh’.
The dark forces that Ahmad Gumi, his father Abubakar Gumi and those that think like them represent have little to do with the great and compassionate faith of Islam which insists on equity, justice, tolerance, submission to the will of God and peace. Again, the Chief E. K. Clark-led PANDEF, who spoke for the people of the South-South & Niger Delta, & the Middle Belt Forum, which spoke for the people of the Middle-Belt, also put him in his place.
Gumi is clearly a man that delights & revels in carnage, butchery, bloodshed, strife, war & perpetual & never-ending conflict.Thankfully, he does not represent the Muslim community in our country: he only represents Daesh, ISWAP, ISIS, Al Shabab, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Hamas & Boko Haram. He dismisses the fact that the President, the Vice President, the Minister of Defence, the Minister of State of Defence, the National Security Advisor, the DG of DSS, the DG of NIA, the Chief of Air Staff, the Chief of Army Staff, the Chief of Staff to the President, the Speaker of the House of Reps & the Chief Justice of the Federation are ALL Muslims & insists that Muslims must also be in charge of the command & control structures of ALL our security & intelligence agencies...
If the answer to both are in the affirmative then I really do not understand what all the fuss is about. This assertion betrays the fact that he and those he represents do not regard our President as a Muslim. That is the implication of what he has said. Can any Christian leader talk to his flock from the pulpit like that about Muslims without being arrested?
The question needs to be asked: is this man well in the head? Is he mentally stable? Is he suffering from mental illness?Needless to say I have always despised him & I have always known that there is something dark & sinister about his more than cosy relationship with the bloodthirsty & heartless ISWAP & Boko Haram terrorists that have plagued our nation but now I have cause to question his sanity as well.
He mentioned the fact that Sir Ahmadu Bello, Sir Tafawa Balewa & other Muslim leaders were killed by mutinous Christian soldiers on the night of January 15th 1966. This “revenge coup” was led by Northern officers of both Christian & Muslim extraction like Lt. Col. T. Y. Danjuma, Lt. Col. Martins Adamu, Lt. Colonel Yakubu Gowon, Lt. Colonel Murtala Mohammed, Lt. Ibrahim Babaginda, Lt.He said Christians killed the Head of State, General Murtala Ramat Muhammed, in the 1976 Dimka coup but he forgot to mention the fact that Lt. Col. A.R. Aliyu, Lt. Col. T.K. Adamu, Lt. A. B. Umaru, Capt. A. A. Aliyu, Lt.
Coming to the April 22nd 1990 coup which was led by Major Gideon Orkar, Lt. Col. Tony Nyiam, Major Saliba Daddy Mukoro, Captain Victor Tolofari and others and in which they attempted to remove the Head of State, General Ibrahim Babangida, from power there is no doubt that it was indeed a Christian coup and indeed much blood was shed.
Are the footsoldiers of ISWAP & Boko Haram Christians? Were the members of the murderous Maitatsine cult in Kano Christians? Was a Christian in power from 1994 till 1998 when thousands of innocent June 12th footsoldiers and NADECO leaders were viciously persecuted, jailed, tortured, maimed, bombed, slaughtered and driven into exile simply for standing up for Chief MKO Abiola and his June 12th 1993 presidential mandate and opposing military rule?
Was a Christian in power when in 1997 General Shehu Musa Yar’adua, the older brother of President Umaru Yaradua, was forcefully given an Aids injection whilst in prison and murdered in cold blood?The bitter truth is that Gumi’s attempt to depict our peaceful Christian faith into one which takes pride & relishes in taking life & shedding human blood is unacceptable.
Anyone, no matter how powerful, influential, wealthy, well-connected, loved, reverred or highly placed, that tries to use religion or ethnicity to divide our people, trouble our peace, undermine our security or destabilise our country will not only face the full wrath of the Living God & the Nigerian people but will also be brought to justice.
By the grace of God our nation & our people are ONE & nobody, not even a self-seeking, self-obsessed, vicious, divisive, destructive, fiendish & mischievous little rabble-rouser & ethnic & religious bigot like Ahmad Gumi can divide us!
