  • Why Biafra, Oduduwa agitators slow down – Ahmad Gumi

    Why Biafra, Oduduwa agitators slow down – Ahmad Gumi

    Islamic cleric, Ahmad Gumi has explained that the emergence of the Labour party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi has brought relative peace to the South-East, saying that the agitation and activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB) are highly political.

    Gumi made this statement via his Facebook page on Monday.

    The cleric also took a swipe at those agitating for the Oduduwa nation, adding that their activities have slowed down following the emergence of a Yoruba person as the flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.

    The statement reads partly, “The IPOB rhetoric and loud voice of Biafra agitations have muffled out with the emergence of Peter Obi as the Labor Party presidential candidate. To them, Igbos have a platform. It’s clear now that the entire IPOB outcry was a political gimmick to get power.

    “The Oduduwa clamours have abated also since Tinubu has clinched the APC ticket never to resurface again until probably if he didn’t win the race.

    “Northern Ultra conservatives too have no mouth to speak of marginalization or suppression of representation, the NNPP kwankwaso has satisfied that segment of the society. No more claims of candidate suppression and manipulation.”

    According to him, the major problem of the country now is whether the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, “will conduct free, fair, and transparent elections” in 2023.

    Ahmad Abubakar Gumi is an Islamic cleric, scholar and former military officer with the rank of captain in the Nigeria Defence Academy.

    He is the current Mufti and mufassir at the Kaduna central mosque, Sultan Bello.

  • Millions will die if anything should happen to Sunday Igboho – Fani-Kayode

    Millions will die if anything should happen to Sunday Igboho – Fani-Kayode

    A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has warned that nothing must happen to Chief Sunday Adeyemo, who is popularly known as Sunday Igboho.

    Fani-Kayode said Nigeria will break and that millions will die if anything should happen to Igboho, whom he described as a noble and courageous son of Oduduwa.

    The former aviation minister alleged that there appears to be a well-orchestrated plan and dastardly plot by identifiable forces and individuals to eliminate Igboho.

    Fani-Kayode further alleged that the attempt to abduct Igboho like a common criminal a few days ago by security forces is just one pointer to plans to eliminate him.

    Read Fani-Kayode below:

    I will say this once for all to hear. Chief Sunday Adeyemo (AKA Sunday Igboho) is by far the most popular and powerful man in South Western Nigeria today. He has inspired millions and restored the honor and self-respect of the Yoruba nation.

    He has also proved to the doubting Thomas’ that the sons of Oduduwa are not cowards. His views are simple and clear and he is entitled to them.

    He does not believe in Nigeria but in Oduduwa Republic and that is his right. We may not all agree with those views but we will defend his right to hold them.

    We may not all accept his methods but, as long as he operates within the law, we have no right to criminalise, demonise, undermine or stop him.

    He is not a terrorist,a criminal or a murderer. He is a law-abiding Nigerian citizen & businessman who pays his taxes, defends his people and stands up against dangerous murderers and killers that have come from outside our territory to kill our people.

    He is not an activist but a freedom fighter, a hero and a liberator of the oppressed who opposes tyranny and the mass murder, ethnic cleansing & enslavement of his people.

    Unfortunately there appears to be a well-orchestrated plan & dastardly plot by some identifiable forces & individuals to eliminate him.

    The attempt to abduct him like a common criminal in the middle of the road whilst he was on his way to a meeting with our reverred father Papa Ayo Adebanjo a few days ago by security forces is just one pointer, amongst others, to this.

    They want to silence him at all costs because of what he has been doing, what he believes in & what he stands for.

    This must not be allowed to happen. It must not see the light of day. Those behind it must perish the thought because if it does there will be dire, far-reaching & uncontrollable consequences for our entire nation.

    If it does there will be a massive & brutal retaliation and Nigeria will be broken. If it does the quest for Oduduwa Republic will no longer be a peaceful, lawful and constitutional one but it will become a violent and brutal freedom struggle which will lead to an armed struggle and civil war in which millions will die.

    If he is killed those behind him will stop talking & writing & instead they will start targetting the enemy and fighting. No-one will be safe and no-one will escape it.

    This is not what I wish for but it is what I see and I pray it never comes to pass. Nevertheless I see and sense it. I perceive it strongly and it scares and worries me.

    Igboho is unlike any other hero in Yoruba history. He is special and he is the beloved of the Lord. What he is doing is what God sent him into the world to do. He was carefully crafted and prepared for it.

    Nothing must happen to this great, noble and courageous son of Oduduwa who has captured the hearts and minds of over 60 million Yoruba people from all over the world. He must not be killed.

    Let me end with the following. Chief Sunday Adeyemo reminds me of Sir William Wallace (1230-1305) the great Scottish leader & warrior who led an armed rebellion against English rule & who inspired the successful quest for Scottish independence. Even though he fought & defeated the mighty English army.
