Christians will destroy us if they occupy power – Sheik Gumi
A top Islamic cleric and scholar, Sheik Gumi has alleged that it’s Christians who destroy the country and Muslims whenever they occupy power.
The vociferous Islamic cleric further condemned the ex president Muhammadu Buhari for failing to negotiate power before relinquishing it on 29 May, 2023 to incumbent Bola Tinubu.
Gumi, who has defended bandits and kidnappers terrorising northern region talked in a video which had now gone highly viral on social media. Mr. Gumi said that there was no need for fear if Muslims head security apparatus of the country.
According to him, however, Christians would take the advantage and maltreat and destroy Muslims when they are in power.
He told his audience, “During the (Muhammadu) Buhari presidency, a certain Christian cleric complained that Muslim officers were appointed heads of security organisations. My response was that Muslims would not use that as an advantage to maltreat anyone whether they’re Muslims or non-Muslims. In contrast, if they (Christians) are occupying those positions, they’ll destroy us.”
Gumi also took the audience to the memory lane. He discussed the circumstances surrounding the death of top elder statesmen including Sardauna Ahmadu Bello, Murtala Muhammed. He accused christians of being behind the murder of the top northern leaders.
Gumi said, “Check the history, who murdered Sardauna (Sir Ahmadu Bello)? It was (Maj. Chukwuma Kaduna) Nzeogwu. Who murdered Murtala (Muhammed)? It was (Lt. Col. Buka) Dimka. As for (Ibrahim) Babangida, he narrowly escaped death; who was his aggressor? (Gideon) Orkar, a northern Christian. You see, once you give these people power, they’ll use it to destroy you.”
“Again, let me repeat, as I said earlier, I replied to the Christian cleric that whether Muslim officers dominate all the security services, they don’t perpetrate injustice like the Christian officers; because they murdered Sardauna, Tafawa Balewa, Murtala, etc. In contrast, tell me which Christian leader was killed by Muslims.”
