- Prominent Kaduna-based Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmed Abubakar Gumi has given his thoughts on President Muhammadu Buhari's leadership qualities

- Gumi is of the opinion that the president lacks the capacity to lead Nigeria out of its present challenges

- He advised the president to give way for someone who has the capacity to deliver ahead of the 2019 presidential election

Prominent Kaduna-based Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmed Abubakar Gumi has stated that President Muhammadu Buhari lacks the capacity to lead Nigeria out of its present challenges.

Sheik Gumi, who made the assertion during an interview with the New Telegraph, noted that President Buhari administration is doing his best, but the best he can offer is not good enough for the country.

His words: “It is like a student I used to have. He studies, do his homework and reads but when the exams come, he fails. The problem is not that he is not trying but that was his capacity.

“The same thing is the problem of the present administration. Truly, they are doing their best, but their best is not good enough. What they need to do is to give chance to someone with the capacity to deliver.”

But reacting to the cleric's comment, the director, strategic communications of President Buhari’s Campaign Organisation for 2019 presidential election, Mr. Festus Keyamo (SAN), said the statement was a personal opinion.

Keyamo stated that the cleric does not represent the views of the generality of ordinary Nigerians, adding that it would have been appropriate for Gumi to use available facts about the state of the economy and efforts of Buhari’s administration at tackling insurgency as the yardstick for analysing how government has performed.

“Nigerians have gone beyond the era of blanket criticism. We have gone beyond that stage. After a criticism, Nigerians will want to know how best to tackle a situation being criticised better,” the lawyer said.

Meanwhile, ex-agitators under the aegis of National Assembly of Ex-militants have frowned at the declaration of interest of President Buhari to run for second term in office, saying Nigerians could not afford another four years of poverty ridden administration.

The group which claimed to have worked for Buhari in the 2015 elections, said it has withdrawn support for the president, reiterating that the present administration had brought infectious poverty, abandonment of supporters and insincerity to develop Niger Delta region.

Guess the man is an IPOB youth according to APC herded crew Buhari's catastrophic regime don't need any analysis.Keyamo is really gonna have a bad time defending this unimaginable failure.

How will he afford his biannual medical trips to London if he gives way to someone who is competent?

Enough of the talk.

Let's all show we are serious about the BackToDaura movement,

By getting a PVC and immunizing our hearts against bribes.
A bribe might solve an instant problem but it also assures a future problem.

Sheik Gumi must be an IPOB youth.

Buhari has failed this country. See how buhari is fighting corruption.

NwaAmaikpe:

The Lazy President should retire. He has destroyed Nigeria home and abroad.

Keep wasting your time talking to a deaf and dumb man

.

I can imagine how the change has changed this man thoughts... But the President Buhari will never listen... Buhari is a curse upon any nation he rules

I used to dislike this man when the polity was heated.. Unknown to me, he's a man that can see tomorrow.. Bubu should pack back to Daura and allow someone to take over

abeg wailing FORM has finish, no form for wailing ZONE-B this is what they want so let the dullard continue, I will get my PVC and thumbprint as many times as I want as a pay back for those morons from South West that voted for him in 2015

I don't see any wrong in Buhari seeking re-election, i only blame the people that will vote for him. No disputing the fact that Buhari is an honest man, truth remains that, he is not competent. Honesty is not the only criterion of a good leader

Even hard-core shieks are not shying away from the truth but seemingly quasi educated characters like one called GavelSlam think otherwise because of raw primal selfishness ...

Hmmmm....what a Country we are in?....Festus Keyamo that use to criticise Govt. has become the defender of Govt....is it that Nigerian activist are not genuine or the Nigerian System has a way of corrupting even the just.........?
