Kaduna-based Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has accused Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi of playing regional politics.
He said such an approach will not take Obi far.
Gumi, who spoke with reporters on the 2023 general elections and state of the nation, in his residence said Nigeria needs an experienced politician to get out of the wood.
Nigeria, according to him, does not need a novice as the next President.
He said that, unlike Obi, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidates Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar have the requisite political and administrative experience to lead the country.
According to him: “Nigeria needs an experienced politician. We don’t need a novice to be President. The situation in Nigeria today needs an experienced politician to solve it.”
He advised that Nigerians should do away with ethnoreligious politics in this 21st century and come together for the progress of the country.
He warned that if an inexperienced politician is voted into power, he will find it difficult to assemble the
best brains within a possible time framework to set the nation working progressively.
Gumi noted that it took President Muhammadu Buhari over six months to appoint Ministers and government officials because he (Buhari) was an inexperienced politician.
“Nigeria is now in the 21st century, people are more educated now. What Nigeria needs now are people
with competency. We should not be talking about North because North is no longer monolithic, we should not be talking about Southwest because no particular person is in control, we should not be talking about South East, look at how Senator Ifeanyi Uba was attacked by his own people.
“So let’s talk about Nigeria as one united people.
Nobody controls anybody in the country. So let’s move forward. Look at America, nobody is talking about power rotation. Let’s develop democracy that we can sustain”.

They are jittering because they know that one's Obi becomes president, the old order and useless structure they have been using to rub the masses, will be gone forever. Ask yourself,why is it that it's only the poor, the downtrodden and the masses are supporting Obi? And why all those polical thieves and criminals plus agberos and those selfish individual that has benefited immensely from this rot, don't want power to change hands? They still want the country to be just like the way they want it. It's only a mad man will keep on doing the same thing and expecting a different results
Think my fellow youths

Ok oo

The only Obi northerns Know is Mikel obi

hahahahahaha

Seems Obi is now the leading politician, even the ruling party is playing opposition to Obi and Labor Party.

Nigeria in general is too regional, tribalistic and religious.

Onyeka Onwenu would have been a better Presidential Candidate than Peter Obi

At least everyone knows her

And she would have been able to Persuade many outside her Region to vote for her

especially Women

We all know Obi is a bigot. God simply exposed his bigotry to a larger audience by pushing him to do the wicked stunt he pulled yesterday. The thing with bigotry is that it can’t be hidden for a long time.

Apart from his ethnoreligious bigotry, he’s extremely incompetent and inexperienced to handle a big, diverse, and challenging country like Nigeria. Someone who can’t turn a small Anambra state around will perform woefully as president of Nigeria.

Why is everybody in APC and PDP in panic mode with Obi in the ring. This shows that obi is the leading politician at the moment.

The only card left for them is the tribal politics. But the good news is that the Nigerian youths are set for the criminals. The youth have understood their deceit. let prove it here.

Obi is coming to change security oligarchy in Nigeria and if proper investigation were to be taken. This one might end up in prison. Obidient is a national movement for a better Nigeria

Obi is not a good candidate yet una no fit comot am for una mouth.

The game the north is playing is now so glaring; they want to deliver Atiku.

But for once, they feel so dangerously threatened by Peter Obi’s growing popularity and acceptance and that’s why they’ve started pressing the panic button.

It started with a whole Sultan of Sokoto going to visit Wike to beg him to stop trying to destroy PDP. And I’m certain they feared Wike would work for Obi.

Now, Sheik Gumi, another Atiku ally, is saying rubbish.

If Obi didn’t matter, they wouldn’t be talking about him.

Do you see them talking about Sowore?

Do you see them talking about Dumebi Kachikwu?

Or the SDP candidate?

The so called establishment is feeling the heat; and ironically, it’s not from Tinubu but from Peter Obi who no one saw coming like Fireboy’s Bandana.

No wahala senior man
I don waka

Terrorist & bandit spokesman advise is unexpected. One has got to promote its stock in trade.

Have you not noticed everything wrong about Nigeria is against OBI....

Until the over 100m poor Nigerians,
The over 22m out of school children (ASUU strike),
The over 5m Nigerians in IDP camps,
The over 60% unemployed and underemployed youths begin to complain and castigate Obi, then we know we are backing the wrong tree...

Until then, this was the aim, to make the those whom have led us to this pity situation uncomfortable.

Even terrorists are talking too ? God bless Peter Obi
Shame on Tinubu and his online urchins.

Lol,the people have chosen Peter Obi already.Same The Nation newspaper that called Peter Obi Obituary because he is contesting election.Cry me a river.Every propaganda from apc will be returned fire for fire.The people are ready to take back their country

Which regional politics? Why is it that people with wrong history and bad profile always attacking Obi.

Is it a sign of God planning to reward some people their evil deeds?

The incoming president of the federal republic of Nigeria come 2023.
Vote Obi/datti.

Because hes rattling you guys.Terrorist govt

Otoro gbagbuo GI there!

I've said it before, Obi won't get 5percent in any of the core northern state.

All this emeka self... When I tell you that your obi is not known in the north you thought I was joking... No worry, when them annouce result, una go shout rigging, biafra or death

You have been doing your election since 1999, no issue.
For the first time, we have a neutral candidate, you people are deploying religion and tribalism.
Nigeria is the problem, not Obi.
