Nigerians have expressed mixed opinions over the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed’s “courtesy visit” to popular Islamic cleric and bandits’ negotiator, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, at his official residence in Kaduna State. Obi had on Monday afternoon written on his Twitter account that “Dr Datti Baba-Ahmed and I stopped by for a courtesy call on Sheikh Gumi at his official residence in Kaduna.”
October 17, 2022Obi had on Monday afternoon written on his Twitter account that “Dr Datti Baba-Ahmed and I stopped by for a courtesy call on Sheikh Gumi at his official residence in Kaduna.”
The tweet was attached with photos of himself, his running mate with Gumi and other Northerners in the midst of a crowd in Gumi’s residence. Reacting to the visit, some Twitter users described it as a smart move to unify Nigerians from different religious groups and ethnicity while some condemned it, describing Obi as a political beggar.
But @Chiditidy1 quickly asked, “So he can’t stop by to greet again?” a question which was also quickly responded to by @OneDayEgoBetter who said, “But you'll drag Tinubu or Atiku if they stop by to greet Evans the kidnapper, y'all hypocrites,” but @TeeGeezer asked, “Who did Gumi kidnap?”
