INSECURITY: Any Politician That Attended Yusuf Buhari’s Wedding Not Different From Bandits, Gumi Blows Hot, Gives Reason
Popular kaduna based Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has on Saturday, condemned the Politicians of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and those of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for spending millions of Naira just to attend the wedding of the son of President Muhammadu Buhari, Yusuf, on Friday, when Nigerians, especially School Students, are wasting away in the captivity of killer Fulani bandits in the bushes, until they can raise the ransoms demanded by their captors, Page 36 learnt.
His exact words: “Some people are in captivity in bushes dying silently, as kidnappers are holding unto them until ransom is paid. Others are suffering from hunger, as it is everywhere. People are facing all manner of problems, yet Politicians spend public funds on private jets.
“When Prophet Mohammed married off his daughter, who came from Mecca or Yemen? In the entire Medina, no righteous persons to oversee the solemnisation?
“Some Politicians are spending money to hire jets to go to a wedding, while criminals are holding people to ransom in the bush. The criminals (bandits) are milking the people.
“Some people have never earned N1 million in their life, but bandits would demand N10 million. Many people have sold their houses, farms, everything, and paid bandits for ransom, yet, some are not lucky to have their loved ones released unto them.
“Some Religious lEaders cannot survive without behaving in a servile manner towards Politicians. Politicians have spoilt the Clerics. Atrocities are committed in the country, but no one can speak up.
“People think only those in the bush (bandits) milk us dry, no! Even our Leaders milk us dry. Where did they get the money to hire all these jets?
“In one of the States, some pictures of a dilapidated Hospital were sent to me. The roof was blown off, and a patient was lying on the bed. That Governor is in Kano, to attend a wedding.
“How many Schools were rehabilitated? The money that should be used to cater for the people is the one they hire private jets to junket around. Are you not also a bandit?
“We vent our anger against ourselves, other tribes. People are left killing themselves, because of poor leadership.”
