Repent And Resign, Gumi Tells ‘Evil’ Jonathan;Says IBB, Obasanjo, Buhari, Atiku, Must Be Banned To Cleanse Nigerian Politics
By SaharaReporters, New York
Fearless Islamic scholar, Sheik Ahmad Gumi has declared President Goodluck Jonathan “evil” and a failure, and called on him to repent and resign in order to recreate peace in Nigeria.
He also said that many top former military Heads of State, Generals Yakubu Gowon, Muhammadu Buhari and Ibrahim Babangida be banned from participating in active Nigerian politics.
Gumi was speaking in a morning sermon today in Kaduna titled “The Man Jonathan,” underlining that the sermon was neither criticism nor praise of a man.
“It is our faith,” he said. “I mean Islamic faith that looks at every creature of Allah critically to pass a judgment on whether it is Godly or Evil. This is how things are categorized. The angels spearheaded by Gabriel are the Godly spirits while the Evil spirits are spearheaded by Satan.
But when it comes to humans, Godliness can be marred in Evil and Evil can be marred in Godliness, therefore what we have is a spectrum of which the extremes are clear cut and demarcated either white or black while the center is grey.”
He said that Islam teaches that all prophets and people of God are in the Right extreme of the spectrum, while those that fight, oppose and suppress them or their mission are in the left extreme apparently the black.
He said that the Good can hide or find itself in the middle of Evil and vice versa, drawing attention to verses from the Bible that read: “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves,” and “For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.”
Similarly, he said, the Muslim traditions also warn, “In end of times there will be false prophets telling you of things never heard by you or your parents, beware of them lest they misguide you and try you;” and also, “Beware of innovations…The most evil of things are innovations for every innovation is misguidance.”
In that regard, Sheikh Gumi stressed that religious innovators and innovations that change the content or the aim of the divine message is the Evil that sneaked into all the Abrahamic faiths: Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and that this fact prompted Islamic scholars from the beginning to have a profile of every individual that relates to scholarship or preaching and leadership.
“These voluminous masses of unique profile documentations are still preserved and updated to date,” he said. “Any Muslim can be categorized with these tags as: trustworthy/reliable/dependable/honest /unknown/liar / fabricator/dubious/deceptive/confused/not worth a cent/ etc.
This ability of Muslims to recognize that evil can creep into them, made the intra-Islamic conflict necessary so that the truth can never be hidden or marred in evil. It became necessary that each human being should be stripped off of everything superficial, attached, gained or ascribed to him and be seen as a homo-sapien first and foremost before passing a judgment on him. That is why it is absolutely necessary to know the man first before you judge whether he is godly or evil.”
Turning to Jonathan using that prism, Sheik Gumi noted that through his faith, if he looked at Jonathan the man, not the president, he would not do the man any justice since he does not know him and I have never met him.
“I can only deduce from what I hear about him, he said, quoting, ‘Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?’”
He said what stirred his interest in examining who Jonathan is relates to the allegation by Henry Okah, Jonathan’s “kinsman”, who was yesterday convicted in a South African court of involvement in terrorism.
He drew attention to a report on the BBC website(http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-21119470), dated October 5, 2010, and another on the Aljazeera English channel of a live interview with Mr. Okah 'Ex-MEND leader,' who implicated Jonathan through a presidential aide who wanted Okah to tell the armed group MEND to withdraw a claim for deadly blasts in Abuja.
Sheik Gumi quoted Okah’s words, "On Saturday morning, just a day after the attack, a very close associate of President Jonathan called me and explained to me that there had been a bombing in Nigeria and that President Jonathan wanted me to reach out to the group, MEND, and get them to retract the earlier statement they had issued claiming the attacks. They wanted to blame the attacks on northerners who are trying to fight against him [Jonathan] to come back as president and if this was done, I was not going to have any problems with the South African government…I declined to do this and a few hours later I was arrested. It was based on their belief that I was going to do that that Jonathan issued a statement saying that Mend did not carry out the attack."(http://www.aljazeera.com/news/africa/2010/10/2010105115843516850.html).
Gumi described these as the “shocking words” of Okah, noting that earlier, Jonathan said investigations had revealed MEND knew nothing about the attacks, and that the bombings had been carried out by a small group based outside Nigeria, sponsored by "unpatriotic elements within the country."
“This [was] while innocent people were [being] arrested by the SSS to augment his presidential political ambition. The conviction of Okah to me is the conviction of MEND as the first terrorist bomb attack the nation witnessed, which Jonathan hastily using the SSS to exonerate and implicate innocent people. Was he misled into that?”
He described the scenario as exactly the dilemma Jesus Christ went through - the persecution of an innocent man of God in the hands of people that claim piety and speak on behalf of God.
“This is an anti-Christ activity. It is shameful. This incidence has made me not see Jonathan on the right of the spectrum. He can still be good but he is definitely marred in Evil. Evil that either directly kills innocent people or Evil that masks killers or Evil that takes advantage from the murder of the innocents for political gains.
“If Jonathan should be a true man of God, let him repent and step down. That will [shed] the evil that permeated his regime and committed so much sin against humanity. An amnesty International report has affirmed to that.”
Sheik Gumi said that the move would “stale (sic) any pretext of Boko Haram, the Evil that permeated Islam -that ravening grievous wolves in sheep's clothing.”
Describing Boko Haram as either genuinely a northern political ploy as claimed or a smear from the clandestine Security agents for [Jonathan’s] political advantage or strategic metamorphosis of MEND and their agenda, he said Jonathan’s resignation will save lives and the nation.
“His resignation will promote peaceful coexistence between Muslims and Christians. It will bring back glory to the nation Nigeria. He will then probably be a ‘Christ’ of Nigeria or the last Evil that wrecked the nation. But as he resigns, the national assembly should promulgate a law - looking at the political situation of the nation- for early elections and banning all the former heavy weight politicians from all parties from politics and vying for political positions.
He named such people as Gen. Gowon, Gen. Obasanjo, Gen. Buhari, Gen. Babangida, Gen Abdulsalam, and Alh. Abubakar Atiku.
“They should be statesmen,” Gumi urged. “Let Nigeria breed a new crop of leaders and politicians. The healthy state of the nation should supersede the personal ambitions of individuals or groups. We all have to give and take. That is if we reflect! May Allah shower us with His Blessings and bring peace to our Nation. Ameen.”

there is absolutely no point pointing fingers. Okah didnt say that GEJ called him, he only said that one of GEJ aids called him. So, lets not say wat we dont know. As for muslims, they have made it so obvious that when there is any problem they put it directly on Christians and churches so, u wont blame some of the comments, some of them are true. Gumi could be a weapon, okah as well could be a weapon but we need to learn one thing "let nigerians not show how they could be easily bought and bride at the expense of our own land"

"-YOU ARE COMING TO LIGHT-". I have always been in the light and that is what I want you to do.
"-YOU DID RESPOND". You have not explained how somebody who makes a rebuttal is a muslim. Were your postulation to be true then every human being would be a muslim bcos hardly do people fail to respond to things which are said or written about them. I know that in islam every one and every thing, even those which were extinct thousands of yrs before Muhammad, are still branded as muslims. None of them recited the Khalima shahada bcos none of them had any personal knowledge of Muhammad and his allah. I can never be a muslim for I will never have personal knowledge that Muhammad was who he claimed he was. I always and will always respond to anything about me.
"YOU ARE A MUSLIM BY BIRTH!!!". GOD forbid. That can never happen.It is too late for anyone to dream of conceiving and giving birth to me as a muslim.
When I die I will meet my King and Saviour, the SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

"-INSHA ALLAH YOU WILL DIE A MUSLIM". That possibility does not and cannot exist.
"-I SEE YOU ACCEPTING & BELIEVING IN THE 'QALIM SHAHADA". There is nothing in islam for me or anybody. Stop being a seer, a fit which even the 'prophet' of islam himself could not have achieved. I know too much about islam to conclude that it only leads to eternal doom and I do not want to spend my eternity in hell or Gehenna according to the quran.

@'MUSLIMS DON'T BELIEVE IN JESUS' BY ANONYMOUS
Submitted by KENETH (not verified) on January 24, 2013 - 20:34.
"MUSLIMS DON'T BELIEVE THAT JESUS DIED FOR THEIR SINS-". That is no news but it does not change the fact. The quran says that on the day of judgment those who differ with Jesus on His teachings will be chastised with a terrible chastisement. One of His teachings, which is a proven fact, is that He came to the world to save mankind and reconcile him to the Father through His(JESUS') atoning death on the cross.
"-AND YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS NOT FAIR ON ANY BODY TO BE PUNISHED FOR ANOTHER MANS ACTION". Muhammadanism teaches that had it not been for Eve women would not betray their husbands. So men are suffering betrayal bcos of Eve's action. Islam says that the Israelis are the cause of food going bad. In other words humanity suffers food poisoning because of the "sins of Israel". Furthermore, it teaches that Adam is responsible for his descendants being thrown out of paradise. In effect, we all are punished bcos of the sins others committed life times ago.

Does God allow both d wicked & d righteous to breath same air? If so, who are u to go killing others in d name of protecting righteousness?

Whatever ur motive is in reproducing sura 109, I am sure u will find the following quranic verses interesting and instructive.
Sura 2:193 "-And fight them until there is no more tumult(disagreement)and oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah(islam)-"
Sura 4:89"- But take no friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah(become muhammadans). But if they turn renegades, SEIZE THEM AND SLAY THEM WHEREVER U FIND THEM; and take NO FRIENDS OR HELPERS FROM THEIR RANKS-".
Sura 9:29"-fight those who do not believe in Allah and the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Messenger have prohibited,nor follow the religion of truth(islam), out of those who have been given the Book(Jews & Christians) until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority(of muhammadans) and they are in a state of subjection-".

THE SON OF A PIG CALLS JONATHAN "EVIL".WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS?
Submitted by osita DIOKA (not verified) on January 24, 2013 - 16:01.
If northerners like Gumi do not want to be governed by a southerner they should simply call for the ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF AREWA and end all this hypocrisy.
Gumi has the audacity to refer to the President as"evil" because he knows that this administration is rational,if his brothers like Buhari Abacha or IBB were in power he would have been arrested or letter bombed.
The facts are here on the ground,the south is responsible for more than 90% of national revenue so if any imbecile feels that the Presidency of this country is the birth-right of the unproductive and mostly illiterate north then simply pick up courage and agitate for ISLAMIC AREWA REPUBLIC.
But as long as you depend on our oil and gas,then just accept democracy and enjoy the hand-outs we dole out to the north due to our merciful Christian nature,should this pig who calls the President "evil" not shut his smelly mouth,we may think otherwise.

Muslims don't believe Jesus died for their sins, and you as an individual should understand that it is not fair on any body to be punished for another mans actions. That is why there is no confirmation of heaven being the resting place for any soul. So my friend its up to u how u want your end to be.

I think the writer of the above subject is blind and more or less an illitrate. People should make comments objectively and stop being one sided. Gumis statements were accompinied with facts, it shows how educated he is, follow the links the facts are there you idiot. Dont forget he mentioned Buhari and IBB as some of the bad eggs as well.
Lets see how the genocide will start if you will survive to tell the story. Hausa fulanis are no peace of cake touch them and the whole country will fold up. Gumi is only saying the truth for the sake of NIgeria and not for Hausa fulani.

The bible says thou shall not judge or else you 'll be judged and judgement is of God. Haven't said that, Mr Gumi was only expressing his own opion based on what he hard and his knowledge about people. If his judgement about the president is of God then time 'll tell or if not such 'll be dump into history books. He has not said anything extraordinary differrent from what we 've heard from some pastors and other men of God since the beginning of the year. His opinion about Jonathan should not give us the courage to start calling names or conderm our divine/sacred religion God gave to mankind. Please let us unite to build/move the country forward becuase we have no other country than Nigeria. Jesus commands us we his followers to love.

We stand by this decree & we shall enforce it after Jona's eight years...Gunmi's statemnts are welcome. D North wants power at all cost & have been killing since Great Jona won elections. Corpers,women,children, studnts, Profesors, bankers,pastors etc hav been killed at will. MKO & Kudirat were killed & Oduduwa republic were 2 cowardly to react. 4 them, their lives hav never bin d same since Illorin became a colony of Dan Fodio. But the SS&SE republic is not Oduduwa. This is Gunmi's miscalculation. I pity him. If only he knows that Great Jona doesn't give a damn, then he wud save his breath....
It is only a fool who expects Nigeria 2 exist after Jona completes his term. The SS&SE will not sit and watch an alien rule over its resources. Never again.Certainly not d beggarly North & West.
Long live the United Republic of the SS&SE
