Controversial Islamic cleric, Ahmad Gumi has attributed the emergence of Peter Obi as the Labour Party presidential candidate for 2023 election to the reason why there’s relative peace in the South-East.
In a post he made on his Facebook page, the cleric claimed that the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB’s support for Obi has indicated that the Biafra agitation is political.
Continuing, he linked the current security crisis to lack of representation, adding that Oduduwa agitation has also slowed down following the hope that the All Progressives Congress, APC presidential candidate Bola Tinubu would emerge president.
The post/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.
