Man slams Gumi over comments
A young engineer who came across one of the viral videos of the Islamic scholar, however, spoke his mind. He offered advice to Sheikh Gumi and also urged the president of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu, on what to do.
In his post, @FestusBrave advised the Islamic scholar to keep his opinions to himself and stop speaking for the North or commenting on the activities of bandits in the country.
He mentioned that as Gumi continues to speak, people might begin to see the US mission as a bad thing.

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.”

"Since our own commander in chief isn’t saying anything. Let someone speak for him then."
@kryptobiony stated:
"Maybe Gumi thinks he's the real Commander in Chief. Silence isn't his strong suit, clearly."
@veried001 shared:
"We don't need any more of Sheikh Gumi's nonsense. Let's focus on strengthening our army with some help from the US. That's how we keep our families safe and tackle the real issues."
