I Never Promoted Islamisation Of Oyo State – Gumi

Sheikh Gumi

Popular Islamic cleric, Ahmad Gumi, has responded to criticisms surrounding his visit to Ibadan last year. He recently had his say via his Facebook page, and Nigerians have been reacting.

Explaining that he attended the event in his capacity as a representative of a coalition of Northern Islamic scholars, Gumi dismissed allegations that he was promoting the Islamisation of Oyo State or advancing northern religious ideologies in the South-West.

The cleric added that no individual or group can prevent him from travelling to any part of the country.

His words, “I now understand how Islamophobia is shaping politics in the South-West and why I was dragged into local political controversies.

I was in Ibadan not at the invitation of any South-West Muslim individual or group, but as a representative of the Coalition of Northern Muslim Ulama.

Can anybody stop me from going anywhere in Nigeria?”

WOW.
