Well-known Islamic scholar, Sheikh
Ahmad Gumi has expressed his opinion
on Buhari’s intention to run against
President Goodluck Jonathan in the
upcoming elections, SaharaReporters
reports.
The son of late famous Sheikh Abubakar
Gumi, said on Tuesday morning, that he
believes there will be severe implications if
the ex head of state continues on his
ambition to be the next president. Sheikh
Gumi wrote an open letter to this effect.
Several supporters of Buhari have criticised
Gumi over a letter he wrote on Goodluck
and Buhari titled: The Second Round Of
Goodluck Vs Buhari: A Source Of
Apprehension’ . Nigerians reportedly accused
him of jealousy and hatred for Buhari.
Read excerpt of the Sheikh Gumi’s open
letter below:
I know I have access to your privy but this
is meant for others to learn also.
The prophet -peace be upon him- told one
of the most honest and truthful of his
companions Abu Zar Algafary: “oh Abu Zar,
I truly love for you what I love for myself. I
indeed see that you are weak so never
accept to lead even two people and never
accept safekeeping of the orphans wealth’
An honest and candid advice from the
prophet that is still valid today for any
leader who’s weakness borders on
leadership qualities.
The reason for Abu Zar’s weakness has
nothing to do with his credibility or
truthfulness. Never! The prophet was
narrated as saying: “there is nobody under
the shadows of trees or bare sun that is
more honest in speech than Abu Zar”
Abu Zar – May Allah be pleased with him- is
ascetic and inmaterialistic. Abu Zar is
incorruptible. And yet he is not suitable for
leadership.
I am not claiming to be even by an atom’s
weight anything close to our noble prophet,
yet I am encouraged to give you this same
advice by the virtue that you are not also
close to Abu Zar in piety. We are living in a
time of great tribulations and fitnah
especially for this Ummah because of our
collective iniquities, ignorance of religious
instructions and the love of Dunyah.
Sir, your weakness is not in your past
impeccable record of accountability of
public wealth and the fight against
corruption and indispiline. Your weakness is
in your inability to control men
compounded further by your strict and
obsessive rejection of corruption.
Don’t be surprised. You may need to
understand that Islam being a pragmatic
religion allows the use of Zakkat and public
wealth as an instrument to pacify and lure
influential people for the sake of
rightouness, peace and stability. In modern
governance today it translate into the
security vote.
Thus men are also controlled by money. So
if your policy of governance is obsessibly
centered on sealing tight the use of money
you will have great problem with men. An
Arab poet said: “a fool cannot be the leader
of his people but the true leader of the
people must feign foolishness”.
It’s convenient for your ardent supporters
to quote copiously from the annals of
history your great achievements but when
your failures and weaknesses were pointed
out they say that was in the past. Is the
lessons of past history only good for the
positive achievements? Doesn’t that also
explain our incessant failures?
Your Excellency, good intentions are never
enough. In the past, because of your clean
records and straightforwardness you were
lured by men who want only the vanities
Dunya to uproot a young democracy on the
caprices of fighting corruption. Corruption
is no doubt an evil but there is a more
monstrous evil than corruption. That is
turmoil and insecurity. Peace and stability
are the most important part of governance
that no price is to high for them.
The lack of peace, stability and security is
the major predicament of this nation since
independence. So when you were naively
used by men to derail one, that is the
greatest disservice you committed to the
nation the ills of which we are yet to
recover from. Do you truly believe Allah is
still not in cognizance of that? You were
lead to uproot a duly elected leader and
incrassate him for close to two years
knowing fully well that he has no charge of
even the corruption that was labeled against
him. Yes, Shagari was the leader and
therefore he bears all the responsibility of
misdeeds in his government, so also you
were a leader and you should bear all the
responsibility of derailing the peace and
stability of governance in this country as a
consequence of that putsch.
You weakness in control of men became
evident when the very people that used you
to revolt against a constituted authority
came back to uproot you from the seat of
power. Your own kinsmen without a gun
cocked in your defense. Today the
corruption you were deceived to fight
against has reached unimaginable level
coupled with the worst state of insecurity
and peace in the nation. There was just
recently an attempt on your life like many
of us.
All this because you the honest people that
are given the privilege of strengthening the
Armed forces left it to meddle in politics.
We thus lost everything. Neither the power
nor the security.
A believer is not stung from the same hole
twice. Men used your innocence before to
get power and dump you. Please be sensible
today. Some other men still want to use you
to get power and surely they will dump you
again. You don’t share the same philosophy
at all. Even though as I explained later, your
obsession and philosophy of fighting
corruption is not the priority of Nigeria
today. What Nigeria needs utmost now is
peace and stability. This can only be
achieved when the religious ethnic and
regional divide is tamed. And you can only
tame it with people without much
precedence. People without much following.
Yet people that are constructive and have
the ability to control men.
If Sardauna today is alive in your situation
he will never contest for the presidential
seat because of his deep understanding of
what the nation needs. He will step down
for a more acceptable younger person. It’s
on record that Sardauna even at the age of
under 60 said he was not going to contest
again preparing his only house in Rabah for
retirement.
I’ll give you a similitude to buttress my
point of priority. A person seriously injured
and fractured from a road traffic accident
when brought to the emergency room, the
first priority of the doctors is to secure an
intravenous line. Meaning get a drip set
working into his veins to protect his vital
organs like the heart and kidneys from the
effects of shock and loss of blood. The
fractures even though serious and the
source of the blood loss may take days and
weeks before they are even attended to
beside the superficial dressings.
Nigeria now needs peace and stability first.
Then we talk of good governance later even
though it’s the source of the predicament
we are facing.
The present government has already
charged the situation and played the
religious divide to it’s advantage. It’s in
circulation now, a SW pastor calling on
Christians and the church to vote Jonathan
as their only Savior. This religious card will
be used to cover for his deficiency in
governance.
Your Excellency, you should understand
too, that many if not most of your
supporters are also looking up to you to
protect them from the onslaught on their
religion and region. This also the Christian
will never believe the otherwise. Therefore
the stage is set for religious confrontation
which is the least the nation needs.
What we need as a priority is peace and
stability.
From my view if APC can support as an
example Amaechi or Okorocha/Kwankwaso
or El-Rufai or Tambuwwal ticket and the
PDC will have Ukpabio/Muazu or Ribadu or
Shekaru, the next four years will. – insha
Allah – witness stability both in the north
and south. And the electoral body will get
the necessary infrastructure that
subsequently the next election will be free
and fair and the true reflection of
Nigerians.
If you may ask, why can’t this same peace
be achieved with you and another Christian
running mate?
Gen. you have antagonist, and they are
many and also as ardent as your supporters.
Your supporters have the biggest proportion
of the underprivileged of the society which
is the petrol that can be easily ignited by
the slightest spark. The spark will be when
you’re declared the loser. And you know
you can very well lose if the Christians
follow their church -and why not in this era
of mediocrity.
On the other hand if Jonathan comes back.
BH will be real not the political one we see.
The turmoil will engulf the whole country
not only the north. That is why I also call
on PDP to present some other candidates.
My Brother in Islam, please listen to the
words of wisdom. And don’t follow the
whims of the riff raff. Before they used you
the first time to disrupt the second
republic, my father advised you against it.
Today I am also advising you against
contesting in the 2015 presidential
elections because you will be used to ignite
the nation -a dream well
orchestrated several years ago- and also be
used by bad people as a ladder to grab
regional and local powers.
I rest my case here.
My best regards and condolence to your
recent loss.
May Allah guide you and protect you from
the evil men and the jinn. Amin.
Ahmad Abubakar Mahmud Gumi

Buhari is shown up for the 2-bit fanatic that he truly is.
