Three major groups, the North-East Consolidated Peoples Forum (NCPF), the Middle Belt Forum (MBF) and the Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), have disagreed with
renowned Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmed Gumi, over his recent bashing of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the minister of the Federal Capital Territory , Nyesom Wike.
It said “such does not represent the collective view and interest of the North, and certainly not Nigeria’s interest”.A statement signed by its spokesperson, Alhaji Mohammed Abba Liman, said: “Gumi’s attack was unprovoked, malicious, inciting and a deliberate misinterpretation of our history.” “The utterance is toxic and it should not be accepted by any decent and sound minded person who loves peace and our Nigeria”.
“We therefore stand with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Chief Nyesom Wike. We indeed stand with Nigeria and, of course, the Nigerian constitution for a better governance system for all Nigeria”, Liman stated. that it is wrong for a Christian infidel to be appointed minister of the FCT; that the FCT belongs to the North, therefore the ministerial slot should be the exclusive preserve of the Muslim North; that Muslims should not be comfortable with non-Muslims appointed to head the security agencies as they can’t be trusted to be fair to all groups.
“Also, the Middle Belt Forum serves the peoples of the Middle Belt who are multi-religious living peacefully together.
