Leaders of the Niger Delta have warned Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi to stop attacking minister of the Federal Capital Territory , Nyesom Wike.The leaders, led by Prof. AW Obianime, gave the warning yesterday in Abuja when they paid a solidarity visit on the minister.
“It goes against the grain of Abuja as the melting pot of Nigeria and therefore highly condemnable. We are glad for the avalanche of criticisms against his unguarded statements from every nook and cranny and the denial of his mean and myopic position even by the Northern Elders Forum NEF.“Going further, Gumi should know that Barr. Wike is not a political orphan from the Niger Delta; he has a very strong socio-political base.
“Gumi’s satanic utterances smack of one fishing in troubled waters whose singular desire/object in life is for the waters to continue to be troubled for him to fish. These waters need peace and stability. Therefore, we urge you to continue with your developmental plans. Responding, Wike called for unity among the various ethnic nationalities in the Niger Delta, saying nothing tangible could be achieved in an atmosphere of disunity.
“You should not be bothered that people will react. I can assure you that I don’t think or bother to know who even made the statement. So don’t be worried about that. And I want to urge you to continue to support Mr. President so that at the end of the day all of us will be happy.
