Beyond the ‘Satanic’ Attack on Wike, By Emmanuel Aziken

If Gumi prefers that lethargy to progress he is on his own

The contrast in the comportment and carriage of the immediate past minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Mallam Mohammed Bello compared to his successor, Barrister Nyesom Wike cannot be more striking.So striking that one of Nigeria’s leading Islamic teachers, albeit with a controversial pedigree, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has now dubbed Wike as satanic.

If he went out, it was to see off President Muhammadu Buhari at the airport or welcome him back. That is how the FCT under his watch suffered and stagnated for almost eight years and those who chided El-Rufai for his demolitions even sought his return to shake off the humdrum of the Bello years. Indeed, it was in that direction that appointments as heads of the secretariats of the FCT were almost always 75% populated by Northern Muslims. To the chagrin of even the indigenous population, none of their persons had ever had the privilege of heading any of the departments. That was until Wike.

The Northern betrayal was further amplified after Atiku Abubakar was believed to have pulled back on his offer of running mate to Wike. However, in appointing Wike as minister of the FCT, there are some in the North like Sheikh Gumi who think that President Tinubu is desecrating the Muslim North’s grip on power.
