Islamic Cleric Sheik Gumi Calls For Peaceful Protests Over Hardship Under Tinubu Govt; Says Buhari, Other APC Chieftains Protested Against Ex-President Jonathan

Controversial Islamic cleric Sheik Dr. Ahmad Gumi has urged Nigerians to engage in peaceful protests as a means of conveying their grievances to the government, emphasising that protests are a crucial tool for driving change.

In a video clip seen by SaharaReporters, Sheik Gumi emphasised the importance of peaceful demonstrations while cautioning against the use of violence or incitement.

"Politicians are very stubborn, it is mass protests that only disturb them," he said.

Addressing concerns over comparisons with past protests in countries like Sudan, Lebanon, and Liberia, Sheik Gumi highlighted Nigeria's unique diversity.

"In Sudan and Liberia, the conflicts were like family feuds, which are very dangerous. But Nigeria is different, with diverse ethnicities, religions, cultures, tribes, and sects," he explained, noting internal tensions even within religious sects like the Izala in Nigeria.

Sheik Gumi expressed optimism that peaceful protests would convey the public's demand for good governance and development.

"Protest is the only language the government understands," he asserted, urging authorities to heed the calls for reform and improvement.

Highlighting past political actions, Sheik Gumi criticised the government's response to protests, contrasting it with previous protests led by current officials.

"In 2015, Muhammadu Buhari and other top All Progressives Congress (APC) officials came out to protest that the previous government had spoiled Nigeria. Then, protest was legal but now it's illegal," he pointed out, lamenting the inconsistency in how protests are viewed and treated.

"God willing, the protest will proceed peacefully, and the government must understand and respond positively to the language of protest," Sheik Gumi concluded, calling for constructive dialogue and meaningful reforms for the benefit of all Nigerians.

Gumi's comments coincide with growing discontent in northern Nigeria, where some people are planning protests to voice their concerns about the economic situation, including rising inflation and poverty, during President Tinubu's istration.

Whenever this Gumi comes out to talk, its always about negative happenings and pro-rebel thingy

Man doesnt stand positivity. What a scholar

Enough is enough! We need change. Tinubu for president, not hardship.

Don't sha disturb my movement in Lagos. You can protest in Zamfara or Kano

The idiot who s rural extortion by bandits to help drive food prices up is talking. That's what happens when there are sacred cows that cannot be touched. The monster Tinubu refused to take is now calling for a revolt under him while helping to aggrevate the hardship.
