He said several Nigerians had been kidnapped by criminals and are paying heavy ransoms to secure their freedom while politicians were junketing around in private jets.
Gumi stated:
“People think only those in the bush (bandits) milk us dry, no! Even our leaders milk us dry. Where did they get the money to hire all these jets?
“Some people have never earned N1million in their life, but bandits would demand N10million. How many people sold their houses, farms, everything… and collected loans to pay ransom?
“How many schools were rehabilitated? The money that should be used to cater for the people is the one they hire private jets to junket around. Are you not also a bandit?
The preacher said poor leadership has escalated the security situation in the country.
