Gumi wants to ignite religious, ethnic war in Nigeria —Fani-Kayode

Former Aviation Minister and APC chieftain, Femi Fani-Kayode, has called on President Bola Tinubu and security agencies in the country to caution popular Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, over recent comments capable of inciting religious and ethnic wars in Nigeria.

In the past few weeks, Gumi had been reported to make comments that could easily inflame the country as well as provoke ethnic wars, leading Fani-Kayode to tell the Federal Government to call the scholar to order over his comments.

In a recent sermon in Kaduna, Gumi was reported to have accused President Bola Tinubu of appointing more Christians into his cabinet, especially in the security department, and predicted that the president would not be allowed to remain in power for the next four years if he failed to meet specific demands.
