Sheik Ahmad Gumi, respected Islamic Cleric, says it is easier to meet with bandits than President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, spokesman for Northern Elders’ Forum, Gumi told stakeholders in the region that he had made fruitless efforts to meet with the president over the rising insecurity in the country.
The cleric has been on a peace mission to stronghold of bandits in a bid to find solution to banditry.
“Today Sheikh Dr Abubakar Gumi told Northern Peoples Summit in Kaduna how he spent months meeting bandits, and many more months on fruitless efforts to meet and advise President Buhari on how to tackle the scourge. He said it is much easier to meet bandits than meet the President,” Baba-Ahmed tweeted.

To which Baba-Ahmed replied, “How can I argue with someone who knows so much about security matters and how they can or should be handled? All I know is that Gumi was a Colonel in the Army, and may have stumbled on info and ideas that will only be useful if given directly to the President. What do I know?”
