| Labour Party Presidential candidate Visit Sheikh Gumi at His Residence |
The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi has Come under heavy attack for visiting Sheikh Gumi, the Cleric who negotiates with Bandits in Nigeria.
Yesterday, Peter Obi was at the private residence of Sheikh Gumi, a prominent Muslim cleric who operates as a self-negotiator with bandits and kidnappers.
The visit has garnered varied reactions, with some praising the LP flagbearer for reaching out to Gumi, while others have lambasted both Peter Obi and his supporters, calling it the height of hypocrisy.
According to some respondents, Peter Obi may have a hidden objective that is not far from promoting succession and lawlessness. Obi has been connected in the past to having a close association with Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB.
Peter Obi once appeared in a video pleading with the EFCC to ignore the Yahoo boys since they pose no threat to the public. This is quite reminiscent of Gumi's view that banditry and kidnapping are lesser evils.
