2015: Don't Run, Gumi Islamic Cleric Warns JONATHAN by Odumani: 4:17pm On Oct 25, 2014
PROMINENT
Northern Islamic
Cleric, Sheik Ahmad
Gumi, Friday,
warned President Goodluck
Jonathan against contesting the
2015 Presidential election,
saying that doing so may lead
Nigeria into chaos and turmoil
that would be unprecedented.
He gave the warning in a
statement he issued to
journalists Friday in Kaduna,
pointing out that the nation has
had enough crisis.
Besides, the statement accused
Jonathan of “dangerously
dividing Nigeria” along religious
lines, just as he noted that the
President sees himself as an
Ijaw leader than of Nigeria as a
whole.
Gumi said: “We have never met
despite the fact that we were all
born and we lived for more
than half a century in this great
vast country Nigeria. It’s here
we all grew up and were
educated and I presume, except
by divine prudence, it’s here
that we will all be buried.
“So, what truly matters is the
legacy that we will bequest our
children and the next
generation of Nigerians to
come. We will not want it a
burnt country with hundreds of
thousands of dead, maimed or
displaced people because of the
thoughtlessness and
recklessness of its stewards.”
Gumi reminded President
Jonathan that the mantle of the
leadership of this country was
given to him under oath,
stressing: “Unfortunately, many
people including me before God
believe you broke some of your
oath.”
Gumi argued: “I’ll only need to
refer you back to the honest
open letter advice you were
given by your political
godfather. You appear more
Ijaw than Nigerian. It’s seldom
fathers will deceive their
children. Yet you never listen.
And sadly by your recalcitrance
you are dangerously leading
this nation to chaos and
turmoil that only God knows
were it will end.
“Muslims have officially
registered to you on occasions
your partiality. Northern groups
have complained about your
bias. The youth about your
neglect. You have divided the
nation gravelly on the religious
divide.
“Already, we heard a call in a
church that you are now a
saviour. Now, not of Nigeria,
but the church in Nigeria. With
this religious zeal on both
sides, each side looking at the
wrong people for salvation, the
nation is heading towards
disaster.”
He continued: “It’s unfortunate
that your stand on many issues
have made you into a
polarising figure while the
exalted office you occupy needs
a nationalistic one. Surely, with
the Christian votes and
northern PDP followers, you
can win another election but
you will also set the nation into
another turmoil because that
segment of the nation that
rejects you do so because they
believe rightly or wrongly you
are involved negatively in the
Boko Haram saga.
“The natural thing any good
leader will do in this situation is
to step down for a person all
the segments of the nation will
have confidence with for their
well-being. A credible person
that will not stir apprehension.
The decision is not about your
rights but about responsibility.
“Therefore, as you pray in the
Holy Land seek for God’s
indulgence to show you the
light of honour and do the right
thing. It’s God’s command that
Nigeria stay united and ‘what
therefore God hath joined
together, let not man put
asunder.”
Gumi added: “A word of
wisdom says: ‘He who consults
is never disappointed and he
who seeks God’s choice never
regrets’. So, please don’t brush
it aside, call men of wisdom to
advice you too.”

So because the almajiri northerners will unleash mayhem on the country if a northerner is not voted will now make GEJ not to contest. If GEJ contesting and winning the 2015 election will make Nigeria burn, let it be so then. Enough of these shits
