Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, a Kaduna-based Islamic scholar, has revealed that it took two years to reconcile former President Olusegun Obsanjo and his deputy, Atiku Abubakar, who is now the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The religious leader disclosed this in an exclusive interview with Daily Independent amidst controversy over his involvement in the recent reconciliatory meeting of the two political heavyweights in Abeokuta.

Also involved in the reconciliatory effort were Catholic Archbishop Matthew Kukah and Bishop David Oyedepo, General Overseer of the Living Faith Church.

According to Gumi, “Atiku has been seeking the forgiveness of Obasanjo for whatever transpired during the era of his vice presidency under Obasanjo. So, it is not a one day affair but a long term one.

“However, it materialised this time that we went there. Everything depends on the former president to agree to reconcile with him (Atiku Abubakar).”

The respected cleric revealed that it had come to his notice that some people claimed that he had been compromised, but he argued that it was not possible to be compromised when trying to assist people who are not in power.

“How can you be compromised? You can only be compromised if you are working for those in power. So, those making such comments are the ones compromised.

“Who controls the central bank, is it not the president? And, don’t tell me that they do not have power because all the people that rushed back to their party were very rich men. When they run to their party, they are declared clean, but when they run to other parties, they are declared corrupt.

“Even this Atiku that you are talking about was an APC man. Just because he left APC, they are castigating him now. What kind of injustice is that?”

Gumi frowned at the recent travel ban placed on 50 politicians in the country, insisting that it was an infringement on their constitutional rights.

He said Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State should be on that watch list.

Gumi was reacting to the recent viral video of Ganduje allegedly receiving bribe amounting to $5 million from contractors in the state.

According to him, “They have rights except if they are stopped by courts of law and not by the president. It is an infringement of the constitution and it is not the first time that they are infringing on the constitution.

“In fact, the president presides over national security issues that circumvent the constitution. That is criminality. I have been saying it. These are some of the dangers Nigeria is facing.

“And, moreover, if there is a list, it should be comprehensive. Did you not see the video of the governor of Kano State stuffing his ‘babanriga’ with dollars? He should be on the list there.”

true talk!

thank you sheikh for being out spoken. Ganduje is a disgrace. many politicians are guilty of thesame crime that ganduje committed but he obviously broke the law of "thou shall not be caught". the good people of kano should stage a serious protest and demand the immediate resignation of the "bullion van agbada man"

This usernames are coming from a single source(I may be wrong though). the usernames CANNOT comment on single thread concurrently, the usernames also go on break together and comes back together.
I'm also thinking his salary is not coming steadily or he is tired of the BMC job cos he is not commenting regularly as before.
If usernames belong to different people, I will write it down in my diary as another world wonder!!!

Ganduje is Buhari right hand man, his name won't be on FG watch list .

Ganduje: Kano state specialist bullion van, expert in all forms of dollar stuffing in every colour of babariga

Ride on sheikh...


As long as you are with APC, your garment is as white as snow...

The efcc eyes will be blind to see you.
The hands of the law will be too short to hold you.

You will even wine and dine with Mr. Integrity.

Impossible! APC Ganduje is a saint. He is not corrupt, that video was doctored, nursed, pharmacisted, lab-technicianed...

How can thieves put another thief name on watchlists since the thief has a broom logo on his door

Buhari is the highest looter

Can looter prob looter??

Do you want the governor to expose him?

Buhari will do no such thing.


5 million votes is better than the image of the country.

Wishful thinking...Ganduje is one of the untouchables

Ganduje is Buhari right hand man, so nothing spoil ...

In as much as governors are protected by immunity clause, there should be limit to this clause. What if a sitting governor is found to be the sponsor of boko haram, would this same immunity protect him? Ganjuge messed up, he should honorably resign or get impeached.

I now know why all this northern politician always go with agbada

Someone that promised 5million votes to Buhari,Shiek abeg no disturb yourself cos they will not listen.Come to think of it,the tailor that made that Bullion Van Agbada should be interrogated. He should confess how many people he has made that Bullion Van for.

The lifeless one is looting by proxy

APC is a useless party.

A Buhari's government of change & anti-corruption fighting government will never do that.

Watch as some shameless bunch will call him an 'IPOB youth'.

No Buhari and APC said we must disregard the video recording because it's mischief and PDP propaganda to assassinate the good character of Kano state governor , any body that believe in Zai Barbar Anti corruption war needed to be check,

Mklanceee:
I now know why all this northern politician always go with agbada

From That day of the first video na hin i don dey wear agbada go anywhere... Even if i wan sleep, who knows weda na for dream dey wan bring the level

For wia!

Ganduje should be impeach imnediately.

This PDP Sheikh should rather shut up, and let the law takes its full course, since the matter is already in court

This government is funny,if this governor was from PDP or any other party apart from APC by now his name would be everywhere and efcc will invite him for interrogation..u don't point fingers st people if yours is dirty!! I never believed in this biased fight against corruption, this government is tyrannical in nature,,I pray God saves us from them,come 2k19 may The will of God be done
