Kaduna-based popular Muslim cleric, Sheikh Abubakar Gumi has asked clerics of Igbo and Yoruba extractions not to be scared of the federal government but to broker truce with members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, as he does with bandits terrorising the North

The controversial cleric, had at different times mediated between the bandits and some state governments, a development condemned in some quarters.

The mission took him to Kaduna, Niger, Katsina, Sokoto and Zamfara where he attempted to broker peace between the governors and the bandits.

The cleric, who had some time called for amnesty for the bandits, was also reported to have said bandits cannot be declared terrorists.

“I hope another Igbo clergy goes into the IPOB structure likewise and talk sense into them, and another Pastor of Oduduwa land talks against the Igboho secessionist tribal movement by way of sensitising people to the values of a cohesive nationalism that will guaranty freedom, equality, and justice for all. Religious forces can permeate hardened hearts where secular forces cannot.

“Regrettably, people just sit down in the comfort of their rooms or parlours and make useless passing comments that only add fuel to the inferno of ethnic jingoism and bigotry. In the 21st century, Nigeria is hijacked by semi-illiterates and half-baked tribal heroes that have nothing to offer besides promoting tribal xenophobia.

Ok

Please shut up

You compare bandits to people struggling to freeee themselves and unborn children from the terror unleashed by your uselessss bandits

So he is trying to place Bandits on same level with IPOB & Igboho.
For goodness sake, the latter are separatists fighting for the actualisation of Biafra & Oduduwa nations respectively. Can't say same for the Bandits.

What fruit has your meeting with bandits yielded? They still killed over 20 people in Niger state yesterday. We have a mission in the south West and we don't kill anyone. Our agitation is different so is our approach to it. Nobody would say Sunday Igboho had killed anyone or organised any violent protests so far. Which peace brokerage is Gumi now talking about here?

On Oduduwa we stand.

Ok

G

Hian! Speak to them in prison?

But the man has a point. Why can't you church leaders the in the south talk with your people who are agitating? Because you are scared of Bubari.

Gumi made sense here

IPOB ahead of all of you oduduwa, bandit, and fg put together. We are not on same level

Hehe. So that his terrorist brothers in Aso Rock will identify all those sympathetic to the cause, place allegations on their heads, in addition to the terr0rist tag, and then kill or arrest them?

This mallam again
