An Islamic Scholar, Sheik Gumi Has Asked Buhari Not To Contest 2015 Against GEJ by Akpan107(m): 1:06pm On Oct 23, 2014
Popular Islamic scholar, Dr. Ahmad
Gumi, son of late famous Sheik Abubakar Gumi this morning wrote
General Muhammadu Buhari an open
letter asking him not to contest the 2015
presidential election against President
Goodluck Jonathan in view of its severe
implications. Sheik Ahmad Gumi Gumi’s public letter to Buhari was
following reaction that trailed his piece ‘The Second Round Of Goodluck Vs Buhari:
A Source Of Apprehension’ published by this medium on 18th October, 2014.
Several supporters of Buhari have
criticised Gumi over his letter accusing
him of jealousy and hatred for Buhari. The cleric, who insisted that he will not
shy away from speaking the truth,
cautioned Buhari to be conscious of those
surrounding him for political gain. Sections of the letter read as follows: 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 Kaduna, SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORK

Been shouting loud and clear.. all this while and will continue doing so more vigorously...Where are the true prophets?
Why are they keeping quiet or afraid of mortal man...
Prophets of the living God this is the only time to speak peace to this nation.
Prophets...True prophets speak not as man but as the mouthpiece of God
Shallom!
