The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele has slammed an Islamic cleric, Ahmed Gumi over his statements on Christians following his recent attack on the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, calling for his arrest.
Gumi on Thursday, October 19, had described Nyesom Wike as “satanic person” and said that Christians are not to be trusted with the security of the country.
Gumi then called for the immediate removal of Nyesom Wike as the FCT minister while advocating for a Muslim to take the position.
Primate Ayodele, while reacting in a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, described Gumi as “evil force that was sent to destabilise Nigeria”.
He further warned Gumi to stop talking about Christians and leave Nyesom Wike to do his job because whatever the minister does will not only affect Muslims alone but everyone in the country.
‘’Gumi should stop talking about Christians; he should talk about his own religion. He is a jihadist that this government must be careful of. Leave Wike alone and let him do his job, stop molesting Christians. If the minister doesn’t do the right thing, it’s not about Christianity.’
‘’Tinubu should be careful of people like Gumi, he should be arrested and prosecuted. He hails from demonic forces to destabilize Nigeria. The country is religiously peaceful but Gumi will cause a religious crisis if the government doesn’t caution him now. He dined with bandits and terrorists in the name of negotiation during former president, Muhammadu Buhari’s administration,” he said.
He added, ‘’People like Gumi are evil forces that can destabilize Nigeria, the man is up to something. President Tinubu must do everything necessary to stop this menace from ruining the country.’’
‘’I see no difference between Gumi and the Taliban, he is another Nigerian Taliban. I think he needs to undergo an MRI scan. He shouldn’t use Wike’s issue to start religious crisis in the country.’’
