| Peter Obi Visits Sheikh Ahmad Gumi |
Controversial Kaduna-based renowned Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has revealed what Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) discussed with him when he visited him at his residence in Kaduna State.
Obi visited Gumi on Monday, before proceeding to the venue of the event organised for presidential candidates by the Arewa Consultative Forum, Northern Elders Forum and other northern groups.
Speaking with Dailytrust, the renowned cleric said when Peter Obi visited him, he asked him a few essential questions on his presidential bid even though they were meeting for the first time in their lives.
According to him, “He (Obi) came on a courtesy call even though I was meeting him for the first time face-to-face, and so I appreciated his visit.
“I asked him very essential questions, but I told him he didn’t have to give me straight answers right away since I knew he was on his way to Arewa House where he would explain it better to the larger society to understand.
“I asked him about his stand on restructuring because Nigeria has been going through a restructuring from 1960 to date and how he could empower an unskilled nation."
