Ibadan, Oyo – The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Yoruba Council of Elders (YCE) have condemned the Kaduna-based Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, over his comment against President Bola Tinubu and Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory.

Gumi, in a broadcast on his Facebook page, alleged that the security of the country would be undermined if left in the hands of a Southerner and that a Southern Christian should not have occupied the office of the FCT minister.
