He has always been an extremist.

Note: this is the father not the son.

Sheikh Abubakar Mahmud Gumi (who died in 1992) is the father of Sheikh Abubakar Ahmad Gumi.

That’s the current gumi’s father who was behind some religious riots in kaduna state and stoked religious intolerance. The fruit don’t fall far from the tree
His son is not as awful as the dad. He has reached out to christian clerics and has been photographed with christian political leaders. And he hasn't at least made comments calling for the conversion of all christians..or saying that christians form five percent of the population ( his father's words in 1986)

The moment a Muslim country refused to allow him enter through their airport for hajj,that was when I knew he was worst than a terrorist!

The funny thing about these Muslims terrorists is to think Nigerian Christians would really need the assistant of the U.S to defend themselves if we are to engage in a religious war.
In Warri streets, there is popular slang that "nobi who first call police the win case".
Back then at the height of the Niger Delta agitations, different commanders from the creek use to brandish their weapons and tools whenever the press is interviewing them to show might. From Asare to Ateke, Boyloaf, Ogunboss, Bibopere Ajube, John Togo etc.
Funny, you will never see Tompolo in any media outlet brandishing firearms. But guess what, in the chain of Niger Delta warlords, nobody can even contest the number one spot with him.
So, if these foolish Muslims terrorists and their supporters think they stand a chance should a religious war break out all because they have people Boko-Haram, Fulani-Herdsmen, ISWAP, Bandits, Lakwuruma brandishing tools, they should better have a rethink...
tompolo no be match for ISWAP. They have a bigger network. TP cant stand ISWAP cos of their recruitment policy and their access to heavy weapons m not talking about GPMG but APCs , anti aircraft guns/DSHK guns and a large number of Foot soldiers.

That's the father , who died in 1992. Not the son.

The son was in the army at the time and would not have made such comments while in uniform. It's a nice way to get one dismisses

People like Gumi should be Nigeria president. He speaks out his mind fearlessly
Lol, you would have to call the gumi quoted in the interview from the grave to do that. He died in 1992

Well that was the current sheikh Gumi's decreased father. Not him

He’s Peter Obi’s friend and supporter, when will he call him out as well? Has he ever called for his arrest and prosecution for once? He goes about issuing banger tweets everyday but he has never said pim about Gumi. Not even once.
you are too old for this childishness. Why not ask tinubu to arrest him instead of people calling him out?

Meanwhile, I’ve observed that resident zone Bs on nairaland, like you have suddenly forgotten about sovereignty and are now supporting the US strike, because the useless government you support have been arm twisted.

You don’t have a mind of your own. Shame on all of you, now and forever.

Okay but it's alright for Bola Tinubu to send his son seyi to interact with a terrorist abi?
Apc supporters and double standards!

Ironically, what he said is actually true. It's also true if Muslims convert to Christianity.

But instead of following foreign religions, let us develop our own indigenous beliefs, and it will achieve the same result
we can still condone your so called religion without been extremist

He even makes his son look like a nice and liberal woke Muslim. grin. If he was alive he probably would be yellling at his son for being soft on infidels

Show him this picture...

You caught them pants down , they forgot Gumi is a number 1 supporter of datti and obi .
Same way gumi is a supporter of Tinubu and his son seyi when he went to pay homage.
Apc supporters and double standards!

Re: Gumi In 1987: "Unity Will Only Be Possible If Christians Convert To Islam" by Mathewrichard99: 9:53am On Dec 27, 2025
Yes, you are correct but do you think he could decide to visit Gumi on his own volition? I believe he must have been sent by Tinubu himself....your son is your natural representative.......whatever applies to anybody that contacted terrorist Supporter Gumi should be applicable to Seyi and pass through to his father Tinubu..... We wouldn't vote for the members of terrorists enhanced network relationship..

Seyi is not running for office nor currently a politician.

Nobody is blackmailing Tinubu. MM ticket was that blackmailing. He knew what he wanted, he knew Christians would not like that but he went ahead anyways. Whatever is said about Tinubu are truths.
Re: Gumi In 1987: "Unity Will Only Be Possible If Christians Convert To Islam" by nairalanda1(m): 9:54am On Dec 27, 2025
On the other hand, many of us who remember the late sheikh Gumi are probably showing our age

Also I remember quality magazine. I think that RMD's first wife May Ellen Ezekiel of blessed memory used to write an article in that magazine. Quality magazine was a very decent society rag back then. It went out of business in the very early 1990s.

I'm old. Dammit! cheesy

Trust me, this man is speaking for Nigerian Muslims, if he’s not doing their bidding, why has no Nothern Muslim politician or Iman called him out all these while ?
That was the current sheikh Gumi's dad, who died in 1992.

The current sheikh Gumi while a strict Muslim has never called for the wholesale conversion of christians to islam

Which indigenous belief? The one of the yorubas, hausas, igbos , edo , jukun ,etc?

A perfect description of the resident apc supporters!
I recall when they used to attack Reno Omokiri for mocking their paymaster bulaba!
The moment Reno switched alliances to APC,they were instructed like robots to start supporting him in spite of the insults they received from Reno!

Seun rest. Even the son of your demi god visited him this year in kaduna and was begging him to appeal to Muslims to vote massively for Muslim Muslim tickets.

You see why I tell you that tinubu can't arrest gumi because him too is an accomplice.

Is this man back to Nigeria huh

That is his father. 1922-1992

Gumi Senior
Most of the people commenting here don't know that the Gumi in this interview is his father, not the present one.
Though, the fact here is that an apple does not fall far from the tree.
Gumi Jnr has continued were his father stopped.
