He said:

“Sheikh Gumi should stop louding this whole thing. Bola Ahmed Tinubu should stop him now. The more he keeps talking, the more Northerners might start seeing the US Army intervention as a bad thing."
“He should be quiet and allow the Commander in Chief to act. Terrorists can never be anyone’s friend, except you’re a part of them. So he should stop speaking for the entire Northerners. Those are just his opinions.”
