Controversial Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has warned Muslims against voting for leaders who will “fight bandits” whom he described as “our people” going into the 2023 elections.
In a sermon which was captured in a video on Sunday, the popular Islamic scholar told his congregants that they should only vote for leaders who would negotiate with bandits when elected into office.
Gumi who spoke in Hausa language, described the bandits as “our people,” and said Nigeria’s next set of leaders should negotiate and give bandits what they want for peace to reign.
