Banditry: Create ministry for herdsmen – Sheikh Gumi tells Buhari govt
Controversial Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has called for a ministry for herders in Nigeria to address the challenges surrounding the group.
Gumi stated this in a post on Facebook, he also berated those criticizing him over his negotiations with bandits.
The post reads partly: “I said my mission has not failed but it was sabotaged or discouraged by the same influential people that benefit from the chaos or like us to destroy ourselves and leave the herdsmen in perpetual ignorance.
“Some said we have tried amnesty, but it didn’t work. You didn’t try amnesty but tried amnesia. Amnesty without rehabilitation, reconciliation, and reparation is no amnesty.
“Ask the former Niger Delta militants who killed security men in the past what an amnesty is. What stops us from having a Federal Ministry of Nomadic Affairs where their grievances and complaints will be addressed?”
this man is irrelevant should have been in prison….
Another way of creating avenue for people to make themselves billionaire without fulfilling the purposes
Nonsense of the highest order, what have we done with the one we have created before
I hope the government will do something about this man saying nonsense day in day out
Creating another ministry is nonsense, government should not listen to this man ooooo
