Governor Diri On Nnamdi Kanu: Gumi Has Become Untouchable by valentineuwakwe(m): 9:22am On Jul 07, 2021
Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State has urged President Muhammadu Buhari administration to talk about the renowned Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Abubakar Gumi, over his alleged link to bandits.

The Governor said this while speaking on the rearrest of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

Diri, who spoke on Tuesday, when he featured as a guest on Channels Television breakfast current affairs programme, Sunrise Daily, said Gumi had become somebody no one can touch, adding that it was very unfair.

Diri said, “Two things I have to say.

“First, they should give him [Nnamdi Kanu] a fair hearing so that the trial will not be done in a way that everyone (especially the Igbo) will see it as oppression.

“Second, as we talk about the IPOB, what about the boys (bandits and herdsmen) organising killings in the North and in the whole country? What of Sheik Gumi? He has become somebody no one can touch. That’s very unfair.”


DAILY POST reports that Gumi had recently warned the government against the killing of bandits, insisting that the criminals were victims too.

The Islamic scholar insisted that no school was safe in the North West for now until the government negotiated with the bandits.

His recent statement has raised questions of his involvement with the bandits and why the Buhari’s administration has failed to summon him for questioning.

Gumi is the federal minister for bandits affairs so he has federal immunity. They are have approved money to build his secretariat as we speak.

The growing unity of the south is quite commendable.

I know the north will find a way to break it. The south should watch it.

Slowly the southern politicians are waking up but it seems to be the non-Igbo ones....


I won't be surprised if the Igbo politicians had a heads up before Nnamdi's arrest sad


Bag of sellouts and potbellied azzwholes who depend on money from Abuja

All our Igbo politicians are useless.... All of them angry

I am happy this is happening. And the game changed the moment all PDP and APC southern governors agreed that:

1. A southern president in 2023
2. No to Cattle Open Grazing, and with Ondo taking the lead to pass the law officially.

Igbo, Yoruba, Ijaw, and all SS must come together. I see Kwara and Kogi porting to Southern Nigeria too. Let the governors continue mounting pressure, and let the agitation for Yoruba and Igbo nations continue. It will get to a state that everyone will just settle for state resource control. Even the 5% for oil host states is bull crap to me. They need to take control of their resources and pay Abuja 0.5% Shikena. If Abuja likes, let it take it, if it likes, let it not. That is its business.

Strategy: Aim at getting first class, the worst case...get second upper. Aim at secession, the worst case...get full state resource control.

Use different strategies to change the game, but with ONE Voice. The power of UNITY cannot be over emphasized.

I mean, how can cut off into government departments and universities have crazy marks with what we are seeing? Borno 2 marks, while imo is over 130. Madness. Yet, the oil money you use in paying the dullards from the north is from these regions. Let us unite and fight for the next generations.

I do not support Kanu, but he must be released. And he needs to be responsible the way he continues his fight.

Good. I want to see a united southern Nigeria.

Remember the story of the broom bunch and the broom stick. When you're united you'll get what you deserve. You will not be killed like flies.

They will use the uneducated Igbo to break. They will remind them that the Yorubas are not to be trusted. They will falsely feed them with the Awolowo story.


The United SOUTH is scary to the North and until we put our differences aside and speak with one voice, they will never stop the killings and oppression of agitators
