Politicians who attended Buhari’s son’s wedding with hired jets are not different from bandits ― Gumi

An Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Abubakar Gumi has said politicians who attended the wedding of Yusuf Buhari with hired jets are not different from bandits.

“People think only those in the bush (bandits) milk us dry, no! Even our leaders milk us dry. Where did they get the money to hire all these jets?” he said

Recall, the president’s son, Yusuf, married Zarah Nasir Bayero, the daughter of Emir of Bichi, Nasiru Bayero in a grand ceremony that was witnessed by creme de la creme in Bichi and Kano on Friday and Saturday.

Speaking during a preaching session at Sultan Bello mosque, Kaduna on Friday evening, Sheikh Gumi described the hiring of private jets to attend the wedding as a waste of public funds.

Citing example with one of the disciples of the holy Prophet Umar bn Kattab, he said the Caliph of Islam (Umar) once took 16 dinar, which is equivalent to N2,040,000 today, from the treasury as estacode to Hajj.

However, after he returned he (Umar) admitted to Abdallah that they wasted public funds.

“Somebody told me private jets in Nigeria were all hired for the wedding of Buhari’s son. With your money, you can’t get a private jet because they were all booked.

“Some people are in captivity in both the bush and cities. Hunger is everywhere. People are facing all manner of problems, yet politicians spent public funds on private jets.

“First it was not an obligatory religious gathering. Umar bn Kattab went to Hajj and yet he admitted it was a waste of public funds. Here we are, public funds were taken to hire the private jets.”

He also took a swipe at some religious leaders saying politicians have corrupted some clergymen.

“Some of the religious leaders have become subservient to politicians,” he declared.

“Some religious leaders cannot survive without behaving in servile manner towards politicians.

“Politicians have spoilt the clerics. Atrocities are committed in the country but no one can speak up.

“You are spending money to hire jets to go to wedding, while criminals are holding people to ransom in the bush. The criminals (bandits) are milking the people.

“Some people have never earned N1million in their life, but bandits would demand N10million. How many people sold their houses, farms, everything… and collected loans to pay ransom?

“People think only those in the bush (bandits) milk us dry, no! Even our leaders milk us dry. Where did they get the money to hire all these jets?

“In one of the states, some pictures of a dilapidated hospital were sent to me. The roof was blown off and a patient was lying on the bed. That governor is in Kano to attend wedding.

“How many schools were rehabilitated? The money that should be used to cater for the people is the one they hire private jets to junket around. Are you not also a bandit?

“We vent our anger against ourselves, other tribes. People are left killing themselves because of poor leadership,”

Hehehe.

Gumi made a lot of sense here.

The politicians are the main bandits and terrorists in Nigeria.
They are gangs of robbers who unit's to steal the past,present and future of the common man.

They are the main terrorist, sponsoring crimes and violence in the society.

In a sane country, most of these guys would have been behind bars irrespective of their political party's and religion. But we all know Nigeria is far from being sane.

The most annoying thing is that a Messiah (the so called agents of change) were brought into power to correct the anomalies,but ended up uniting the bandits.

EFCC has been reduced to settling disputes between neighbors and chasing after yahoo boy's in Nigeria, while the main looters are spending our money with impunity.

A president that did not attend the burial of his own chief of army staff in the same city where he lives, has never traveled to console the families of victims of his maladministration, doesn’t deserve any love on his son’s wedding day.

Let Northerners start talking sense into their leaders and we'll have some relief

Well said Sheikh Gumi.

They've forgotten They'll answer God how they Govern those under them on the D day.

The fear of accountability in the hereafter Which mold the scribes then is no more in the heart of those in power today. Maybe they do not know

Southerners are not exempted either. They're all birds of a feather
