Peter Obi: IPOB outcry was a political gimmick to get power – Sheikh Gumi

Controversial islamic Cleric, Sheikh Gumi has claimed that the IPOB and Oduduwa agitations were just mere gimmicks in a bid to get power

He said the emergence of Peter Obi and Tinubu as Presidential candidates of Labour Party and the ruling All Progressives Congress APC respectively has silenced these agitations and will probably resurface again when either clinches the Presidential seat

Gumi made this known in a post he shared via his Facebook page. According to him; “The IPOB rhetoric and loud voice of Biafra agitations have muffled out with the emergence of Peter Obi as the Labor Party presidential candidate. To them, Igbos have a platform. It’s clear now that the entire IPOB outcry was a political gimmick to get power.

“The Oduduwa clamours have abated also since Tinubu has clinched the APC ticket never to resurface again until probably if he didn’t win the race. Northern Ultra conservatives too have no mouth to speak of marginalization or suppression of representation, the NNPP Kwankwaso has satisfied that segment of the society. No more claims of candidate suppression and manipulation.”
