The popular Kaduna-based cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has expressed his misgivings for the last administration under Muhammadu Buhari.
During an exclusive interview with Vanguard on Saturday, July 15, Gumi said contrary to his advice to Buhari at the beginning of his government that he should “draw a red line and close his eyes to what happened in the past”, the president “continued using the institution of fighting corruption to hound and blackmail opponents.”
The Islamic cleric opined that this is why Buhari lost the anti-corruption war.
Asked what his advice to President Bola Tinubu would be, Gummi stated that the incumbent “should have the courage not only to deal with anyone found to be corrupt but also bring back all those who have enriched themselves in the past government to vomit what they have stolen.”
He insists that looters of public funds are “to vomit what they have eaten.”
The scholar added, “Nigeria is broke now, and instead of taxing common Nigerians to raise funds to run the government, let the stolen money be returned and met out appropriate punishment on them.”
Gumi promised that if Tinubu can do the above, he “will support him 100%.”
