2023 Presidency: How are you going to deal with issue of agitation? – Sheikh Gumi inquires Obi
Controversial Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmed Gumi has asked the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi of how he would deal with the issue of polarity and agitation when elected in 2023 general elections.
On Monday, Obi and his running mate were in Kaduna to attend an interactive session for presidential candidates organised by a joint committee of Arewa groups in the build up to the 2023 general elections.
Speaking at the interactive session while playing host to the former Anambra State governor and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, Gumi commended Obi for visiting and briefing him about his plan for Nigeria.
He assured Obi of his vote if he can restructure Nigeria if elected president in 2023.
Gumi said: “As you come here (Kaduna) people will like to hear your views about restructuring Nigeria; Nigeria has been restructuring itself from independence to date. It was never static, but I want to know about views on restructuring so that I can write on my Facebook page `this is the presidential candidate who can do this for me; I will assure him of my vote’”.
“How are you going to deal with the issue of polarity and agitations across Nigeria? Every region is agitating because people are not happy, how are you going to make these people (agitators) happy under one table?
“You talked more about the economy; the economy sometimes is more than the figures,” he added.
