On the recent åbduction incident in Kwara State, Sheikh Gumi addressed the situation with a message he says Nigerians must take seriously. According to him, no country in the world has ever completely wiped out terrørism — not even the United States with all its power and resources. So expecting Nigeria to achieve total elimination overnight, he said, is unrealistic.

He added that, from his perspective, things are gradually improving, and people should show patience as security forces continue their work. But what concerns him most is how easily some Nigerians are allowing external influences to sow division.

He questioned why foreign voices should be allowed to use religion — especially Christianity — to turn Nigerians against one another. “We have lived side by side for generations,” he said, “so why should outsiders succeed in dividing us now?”

Sheikh Gumi made these remarks during an event held two days ago in Oyo State.
