Power Not Substitute For
Blood, Gumi Warns

Sheik Ahmad Abubakar
Gumi today in his
comment marking
Nigeria’s 53rd
independence anniversary
warned President
Goodluck Jonathan that
power is not a substitute
for blood.
He also said that the best
Jonathan can do in 2015
is to organize free and
fair election and go in
peace, rather than be
deceive by power
mongers at all cost.
Gumi in a statement said,
“Today Tuesday is another
milestone in the history
of the nation Nigeria. The
mere survival of Nigeria
as a unified entity is the
only successful story in
the 53 years of its
independence. Like Boko
Haram, Nigeria can only
boast of its success on its
survival. We see despite
heavy fatalities and
injuries of thousands of
people and the grounded
economic life of the north
east, the purported Boko
Haram leader can only
boast on his ability to
prove he is still alive. Just
like Boko Haram, Nigeria
is real but unrealistic,
naïve and self-
annihilative. Why? Just
because those that lead
the two phenomena are
dehumanized of all
human sensibilities. They
trade blood for power!
According to the fearless
cleric, Jonathan is
economical with truth
regarding security issues,
“Two years ago, regarding
the 1st of October 2010
Abuja bombing that killed
12 innocent Nigerians,
carried out by the
terrorist organization
M.E.N.D, President
Jonathan exonerated
them and tried to
castigate the northern
politicians inferring to
IBB. A new strategy never
known in Nigerian politics
came in to play i.e. by
calling a dog a bad name
to hang it. Then IBB was
foreseen as the most
formidable obstacle to
deny Goodluck power.
They forgot IBB left the
power to save Nigerian
blood. This the best deed
of IBB Nigerians should
not betray.Yes, from the
onset, Mr. Goodluck was
apparently in a struggle
to grab power and to
cling to power even if that
is at the cost of innocent
Nigerian lives. Well it
turned out that his
people were the culprits.”
He continued that “after
his ascension to power
and the affect of strategic
replacements in the
Nigerian security
apparatus that favored
the South South and
South East regions, the
‘Boko Haram’ bombings
became incessant,
powerful and more
sophisticated. Bombings
in Sokoto, Daura, Kano,
Kaduna, Zaria, Maiduguri,
Abuja, Damaturu, Bauchi,
etc. in fact the whole
northern region was
virtually on fire. ‘Boko
Haram’ a ragtag group of
peasant al-majiris were
then abruptly well-
equipped to carry out
highly sophisticated
military like -clandestine
operations. It is to
insinuate that they were
triggered as a reaction of
the northern region to
reject Jonathan’s rule.
This is the calling a dog a
bad name to hang him
strategy again. This time
not against individuals
but a whole region and
religion. Then Azazi and
Yakowa died abruptly.
The bombings also
suddenly abated to a
halt.”
Gumi, who also argued
that recent killings are
new tactics, said,
“gradually a new strategy
sets in. Massive killings of
civilians in villages,
schools and road sides by
unidentified people or
recently workers
squatting in uncompleted
buildings by security
agents. All happening in
states supposed to be
either under state of
emergencies or the
capital city where security
alert is at the optimum.
Gen. Shuwa was gunned
down and murdered
under the very eyes of his
army guards that didn’t
react. And no military
panel to investigate the
killing of such a national
hero that fought to keep
Nigeria one was
officiated. And you dare
say the military now is
demoralized and also
paralyzed by its own
mechanism. In brief,
these killings in Nigeria
from the 1st October
2010 to date are largely a
script play and a plot
unfolding. In it, even
some of the active
accomplices like the naïve
almajiris are not aware
they are pawns. “In
Nigeria today nobody is
safe. Anybody can be
attacked and killed, or
framed up and arrested.
You see or hear of law
and order is only in books
and the compromised
newspapers and media.
Journalism is dead, justice
in the court of law is
absent, intellectuals are
neutralized, and the
populace is largely left
poor and uneducated.
Mr. Jonathan has only
one option left for him.
Let him conduct a free
and fair election in 2015.
From PDP primary
elections to the national
elections. Let him not be
deceived by those wolves
that want to push him to
his expiration for their
corrupt lifestyles. Mr.
Jonathan should know
that power is no
substitute for blood i.e.
you cannot spill other
people’s blood to stay in
power and remain
flourishing. You should
ask Assad about that. You
can call Sisi in Egypt and
ask him about that. The
psycho-trauma is enough
to finish one’s life.
“Please Mr. Jonathan, if
Nigerians don’t want you
please go in peace.
My advice to Nigerians is
that the struggle in
Nigeria is wrongly termed
religious or ethnic. It is
all about a clique who
wants to monopolize
money and power. The
day Nigerians reclaim
their government,
military and resources,
that day they will realized
that boko haram, MEND,
OPC and also the so
called ‘influential’
religious organizations
are all hijacked for the
same goal by this clique
to perpetuate the status
quo. As for Islam, I can
speak for. Islam calls for
peaceful co-existence,
progress, mercy and
compassion on all
humanity. "And We have
not sent you but as a
mercy to the world."
Q21/107

I have always been castigating this man but he mostly right about the motives of these killings going on in Nigeria. No one should tell me Nigerian Army can't wipe these killers out in two weeks if they really want to do it.

Four months ago, some people were caught in a building in Lagos with sophisticated weapons to maim and kill innocent lives. Was that a coincident? People in Lagos dodged some bullets. The building was bought and paid for by Bayelsa State government. No security agency has investigated or done anything about it.

We are sitting on gun powder in Nigeria. Jonathan looks and smiles like someone that can't hurt a fly, but he's a green snake under green grass. He is ready to spill blood to remain in power at all cost.

GEJ's govt is nw d bloodiest govt in d history of Africa! Statistics has shown dat hs govt is 5times bloodier than Gen. Idiamin of Uganda, 12 times bloodier than Gen. Abacha's govt. In Gej's govt, no one is spared - the litle, the mighty, the inocent the guilty. An embasy wiki leak indicated that more than 450,000 Nigerians has been killed or maimed since 1st oct 2010 to Aug. 2013. Many govt infracture and civilian properties worth more US$6 bilion Dolars has been destroy right under the leadership of Gudluck Jonathan - the worst is, HE DOESNT GIVE A DAMN! It seems like som knd of evil spell dat feeds on blood is folown gudluck jonathans administration. The game plan nw is dat gudluck must win 2015 election either by crook or by hook afta which he wil use al necesary means to extend hs tenure to 7yrs. All forms of opositn must be elimate on or before 2017! Nw, almost al aspect of d economy is in comatos - educatn system dead, security - zero - police brutality & extra judicial kiln, kidnapn, armed robery, high sea piracy, ritual kilins and oda vices is on al time high, electricity hs gone wit d winds, housn & road infrastructure is nt even in d agenda - no road projec hs bn completed unda Gej. Health is available only if u can fly urself abroad - caus al d health facilities hs turnd to a glorified mortuary! Masive looting & coruptn more than eva seen unda any administratn in Nigeria is taking place unda Gej's govt. Militants & criminals are in key positns in govt pepetratn all forms of indicipline! By the time GEJ is thru wit th contraption cald Nigeria, Asad of Syria will look like a saint!

It's pitiful how you have quickly arrived to your conclusions. If Nigerians don't want GEJ, who do they want? Buhari abi? If truth be told, Northerners want to regain power at all cost and that brought about this boko h*aram nonsens. Tell me, why has Buhari not condemned all these killings publicly? Mr. Man, better shut your mouth before history destroys your generation for uttering balderdash on sensitives issue which has engulfed innocent lives

And that little brain of yours tells you that GEJ is the cause abi? My friend, park well

I think its you that should shut up!

I thought he was dumb and clueless.

You muslems and your way of reasoning,terrorists.

are you sure? I think we christians practice terrorism with charm!

TeaParty: You muslems and your way of reasoning,terrorists.

All these are not news to us in the North. Jonathan shall have his due when the time comes.

we dont gv a bleep abt dt..let them continue wit d killins..
gej till naija divides

Jonathan would burn this country to the ground if he were to rule over its ashes.

Gumi remains consistent in always saying it as it is.Let's not forget that right from the onset of boko haram he has maintained an uncompromising stand against them, for which they tried to kill him. Instead of hobnobbing with Gej and other corrupt politicians to get his share of the national cake (eg. jet plane like oritsejafor & co), he has chosen to speak the truth to them. God bless you gentleman. You have exercised your constitutional right to express your opinion in a civil manner - but expect the attack dogs to react unreasonably and abusively,as usual. They waste their time anyway- after all this same Gumi was once framed up by Nigeria's malleable SSS and was held in Saudi Arabia as al-Qaeda suspect. He was released after 9 months with apologies and Saudis blaming forces in Nigeria for misleading them. This man, an ex-army officer, stand on principles and is not a mischief maker.

Gej this gej that"what do you people want again?i am tired of this country.u are afraid because u are lazy.u looted our money to feed your jobless people...listen inposibility is nothing ...if not gej there won't be electricity in Nig "they told us that Nig can't have it...this man is working"allow him to rest haba.....

U people hav ruled for 38years, let others rule abeg! U dnt own nigeria. Period!

Gej this gej that"what do you people want again?i am tired of this country.u are afraid because u are lazy.u looted our money to feed your jobless people...listen inposibility is nothing ...if not gej there won't be electricity in Nig "they told us that Nig can't have it...this man is working"allow him to rest haba....after gej might ve finish his tenor bein it 2019 or whenever the next people will be igbo president...this people never text it over 5decade

When would these killings stop?

THEY'VE BEEN TRYING 2 DESTABILIZE GEJ. USING BOKO AND HARAM. AND TURNING AROUND 2 SAY RUB & BISH.YEYE FACE!

Mallam Gumi who told u Nigerians dont want GEJ? they do and i mean d majority of Nigerians do.
As for u being a respected cleric among ur people i will advice u preach to ur people to stop all these wanton,senseless and barbaric killings in d north all in thier bid to stop GEJ by all means.
Remember to tell d bombers that there is no vacancy in Aso Rock come 2015.
Deceive them no more.

Gumi said you don't have to spill blood to stay in power, he should also tell the north you don't have to spill blood to get power , (killing innocent coppers after election).

If he is trying to say gej is responsible for boko haram he is a big joke.

Boko haram belongs to the global islamic terror movement, which has the single aim of enforcing islam all over the world.

The northern politicians decided to employ their service to ensure they stay in power and possible help them reclaim power at all cost in 2015. Promising to let them have their way in implementing full sharia in the entire north if possible Nigeria.

Which is why they keep bombing churches and no mosque. They were asking gej for dialogue with boko haram to enable the sect grow in preparation of 2015. Unfortunately for them gej refused, and they could not call boko haram to order because they take their orders from the global islamic terror body.

So it seems they won't have much terrorists to fight for them in 2015, that is why they r now fighting gej in PDP to ensure that all the major political parties in 2015 present a northern muslim presidential candidate, to ensure that Nigerians have no option but to vote the north.

Why won't they go to APC let APC produce their northern muslim candidate and leave PDP for gej?

see how the fixed the child marriage into our constitution.

Jona is on course to win the elections of 2015. Jona is skillfully rectifying the systemic damages of the unelected misrule of IBB. The sponsors of Boko Harem will be exposed at the right time.

the people from the North said it from the beginning that they are going to make it so, and yet non of you said anything about it but when Asari started saying his own everyone was like he should shut up. If the northern leaders knows what is right for them, they should call their children and subjects to order. If they should continue this way they will end up blowing their homes and people. The only people I have pity on are the non-northerners who reside in these areas, it's painful to see children, women,men, properties,and businesses killed and destroyed in the quest for power and these northern elders and leaders can only open their mouth and tell GEJ not to contest elections because of their selfish aim and quest to rule the country. They should be ASHAMED of theirselves and actions, if they truly believe in one Nigeria they would realize that other regions are not slaves to them as we are also BORN to rule. I wish Nigerians can really understand what all these killings and attacks are all about

too loooooonng pls summarise!

Waiting for in-sincere nigerian.

I am among those who told him

2ndly, does he need to be told?

It's only a folly religious and ethnic bigotry for reasonable Nigerians not to see reasons why President GEJ and PDP are to curses on Nigeria and Nigerians.

This is not the first time PDP have been strategically killing and maiming because of power.

I think you remember Harry Marshal, Dikibo and Bola Ige (they party leaders and serving minister) during OBJ at all cost to return to power for PDP.

The fact now remains that the present regime had gone beyond "clearing" individuals perceived to be "blocking the road" to power to full-fledged causing and creating platform for religious, tribal and regional war among Nigerians. Including most of you that are recruited cyber-war fighters.

I will respond appropriately to Mr GUMI comment later. However, and in summary, I agreed with almost everything apart from the title that should reads "GUMI ADVISE PRESIDENT JONATHAN" instead of "GUMI WARNS JONATHAN".

The word warning is not appropriate, because President GEJ is our President as at now and He should be respected.

Some of us are not interested in where who the next President will come from (in fact why can you people prepare another reliable and non-blood sucking person/party from the same region and see that some people will display to you that they are not necessarily for the North, but for a better and focused Governance).

I am yet to see in what way has the Government of Jonathan improve the lots of S/S, SE or Christianity in Nigeria, except the few among the fools who sharing the National Treasure ( sorry, S/S God-given treasury with the likes of President of Political CAN ).

You guy better come out of this slumber and act in your best interest for Nigeria, which is lack of sentiment.


Let us assume, he returns back in June 2015, will he not leave in 2019?

Then what will happen after that?

Mend and co will start again?

What I can assure you is that Baba Iya "Odi tablet" which is similar but in upgraded form of Boko will be updated and reapplied.


But is better to jaw-jaw and not war-war for the sake our unborn generation. Whichever one, be it boko haram, MEND, OPC, ACF, Afenifere Egbesu, Bakassi,

None has monopoly for violence (sorry, I am quote my humble Pastor Oritshejafor)

All we are saying, give us free and fair election process.
Also ensure there is peace across the land, the BOkO crisis in the North is political.

I thought reasonable people will be commenting positively when the youth of Borno and Yobe are now taking their futures into their hands by arranging to expose and kill the few identified boko members that infiltrated them because the last 14 years of PDP cannot get the border secured. Instead........?

I have said it in one of my earlier post that the onus is on the President to prove that he is not using BOkO haram for political gain (because boko haram is maiming and killing Nigerians an not any other citizen).

Like i suggested, which is in line with Mr Gumi, to either open path for discussion with BH with a view to rehabilitate them if possible (because i dont believe they are humans too) or wipe them out completely and with recourse to sentiment (called consultation in an official environment)

The youth had come out to support the JTF, sincerely demonstrating to Nigerians that this is not what they wish, but the fact remains the a sincere machinery of Government could have done better and timely)

Did'nt he know someone vowed to make d country ungovernable for Gej. He should count his teeth with his toungue.



May God help us.

chifreke: too loooooonng pls summarise!

^^^Basically he's saying that GEJ should give up his ambition for 2015 so the jihadists (and the northern politicians sponsoring them) can stop shedding innocent blood!

Jenams: U people hav ruled for 38years, let others rule abeg! U dnt own nigeria. Period!

i assure u Ebele wil cntinue to rule....but ur misery shal cntinue to multiply.

Mark my words!

Anyone who has brain will know that the October 1st bombing and the post-election violence were State-sponsored as well as some actions termed Boko Haram. It is as clear as day. The opposition asked for open and televised court session for those arrested and government refused. Henry Okah who was tried in South Africa admitted that MEND was contacted twice by the Presidency for a bombing in Warri and the October 1 bombing.

yes! d northerners hv made the north ungovernable for ebele (as u guys claim)

pls tell me one achievemnt of ebele in the south!

dmalam: yes! d northerners hv made the north ungovernable for ebele (as u guys claim)

pls tell me one achievemnt of ebele in the south!

There is fuel everywhere. When abokis ruled there was no fuel ANYWHERE.
Rice importation has reduced by half. Farmers are producing more yams. The economy is growing from down to up. Meaning? Can you understand?

These mallams are too lazy. They depend on politics for income. You hardly see mallams as bankers, medics or engineers cos instead of getting education they prefer to beg.

The ones that outgrow begging after testing free Niger Delta money are ready to kill to hold on to power.

How can one explain why a mallam will challenge a president who comes from Niger Delta where oil comes from.

In this Sovereign National Conference to come. I propose 70% resources control or secession.

Let every state generate their revenue and spend as they want. Fullstop..
