Why Tinubu should sack FCT minister Wike as Gumi makes strong allegations
In another report, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi described the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, as a satanic person.
Gumi said Wike plans to make Abuja an extension of Tel Aviv by inviting Israel to handle security in the FCT.
He urged President Bola Tinubu to sack Wike as FCT Minister because Christians cannot be trusted with Nigeria's security.
