“Sheik Ahmad Gumi, the Rasputin of Arewa, whose father once said a Christian must not rule Nigeria & who himself said the FG must not declare the killer bandits as terrorists is worse than Abubakar Shekau & Al Barnawi.

Some of the commenters, who sensed that he is beginning to go against the All Progressives Congress, APC, government, lamented his unstable nature, stressing that he is no longer receiving benefits from the part.
Recall that since his defection to APC recently, FFK has been dinning with some of the party’s stakeholders as he constantly boasts about dinners and lunch on his social media handles.
Below are some of the reactions as compiled by DAILY POST.
SomtoChukwu: “Food don finish for house, you wan come hustle for another food. FFK zukwanu Ike! You are building bridges with terrorist in government while he is building bridges with the terrorists in forest. Two of una na spokesperson serving the same cause”.
Augustus Chinedu: “I won’t be surprised to see you in Gumi’s dinning table eating ewedu and semo in the nearest future.
Continue Oga short fuse”.
Eferebo Ibietela: “Oga, you said worst things about PMB, we no longer take you seriously because this is your trade. Don’t drag our emotions into your trade, please”.
Benny Adindu: “This one you are calling out Sheik Gunmi, do you still want him to include you in his own bridge building? Oga build your own, let him build his own.
“While you build with terrorists in government, he is building with terrorists in the forest. What we all can agree on is that one day, both bridges will definitely collapse”.
Dos Santos: “That’s how you once said about Buhari but after Yahaha Bello & Zamfara Governor, Matawalle offered you food, you became the defender of Buhari. And betrayed your brothers, Sunday Igboho & Nnamdi Kanu.
“If Sheik Gumi calls you for food, you will become his praise singer. The reason you posted this is for Sheik Gumi to recognize you and invite you for food”.
Jac Adonis: “We don’t trust you anymore. Tomorrow you will go to his house or he will come to your house. You will call brother and dine with him. Yes know that he’s backing bandits and terrorists.

Edo Gov Okpebholo freezes govt accounts, reverses ministry’s name
Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, has directed the immediate freezing of all state-owned bank accounts.

He instructed commercial banks, ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) to comply with the order immediately or face severe consequences.
The statement reads: “All state bank accounts with commercial banks have been frozen. Commercial banks must comply with this order and ensure that not a single naira is withdrawn from government coffers until further notice.

“Heads of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies must ensure full compliance without delay.
“Following necessary investigations and reconciliations, the governor will take appropriate action and decide on the way forward. For now, this order remains in effect.”
Okpebholo also directed relevant agencies to revert the name of the Ministry of Roads and Bridges to its previous title, the Ministry of Works, a change made during the Godwin Obaseki administration.
“It is odd to name a government institution the Ministry of Roads and Bridges, especially when not a single bridge was built by the previous administration — not even a pedestrian bridge.
“In the coming days, we will examine further actions taken by the previous administration and make decisions that serve the best interests of the state,” the statement added.

Israel-Palestinian conflict: Two-state solution is a deception, says Gumi
Israel-Palestinian conflict: Two-state solution is a deception, says Gumi
Prominent Islamic scholar Dr. Ahmad Mahmud Gumi has criticized the widely discussed two-state solution for the Israel-Palestine conflict, calling it a “deception.”
His remarks followed a recent summit of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Riyadh, where President Bola Tinubu and other leaders condemned Israel’s actions in Gaza and urged an end to hostilities.
In an interview with Daily Trust at his Kaduna residence, Gumi argued, “This Two-State Solution is a deception. No Israeli will allow a Palestinian to survive, and Palestinians will never allow Israel to survive.

The only solution is to dissolve the two states and create a democratically electable region.”
Gumi commended the OIC’s support for Palestine, noting that Muslims and Arabs worldwide increasingly see the treatment of Palestinians as “genocide” and accuse Israel of human rights abuses.
He also called for a return to the pre-1948 structure, where Palestinians, Jews, and Christians lived together, suggesting a single, inclusive state that allows peaceful coexistence.
“When I hear people talking about Two-State Solutions, I know they are just deceiving themselves,” Gumi added, advocating for a unified region where people of all faiths can live together, similar to the multi-faith coexistence seen in countries like the United States.

The Labour Party candidature of Olusola Ebiseni for the upcoming gubernatorial election in Ondo State has been nullified.
The nullification follows the sacking of Ebiseni by the Court of Appeal, sitting in Abuja, on Wednesday.
The governorship election of the southwest State will hold on Saturday, 16 November 2024.

Justice Banjoko held that, “the appeal marked CA/ABJ/CV/1172/2024 brought by the Labour Party against Chief Olusola Ebiseni and two others is allowed.”
Justice Banjoko further stated that the Certified True Copy of the judgment would be provided to the parties involved in the appeal as soon as possible for their review.
Recall that Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court in Abuja had ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to accept and recognize Olusola Ebiseni and Ezekiel Awude as the Labour Party’s governorship and deputy governorship candidates for the November 16 Ondo State governorship elections.
Justice Nwite confirmed that the second primary election conducted by the Labour Party, which resulted in Ebiseni and Awude being selected as candidates, was valid and should be upheld by INEC.
However, the appellate court has now overturned the judgment of the trial court’s judgment.
