Bola Tinubu should not say, "it is my turn"
Although Gumi described the APC's presidential candidate as a good administrator, he berated him for insisting that it is his turn to become Nigeria's leader.
He said:
“It is not proper for him to say it is his turn. There is no question about saying it is my turn. Don’t say it is my turn.
“He is a good administrator, he can do it. The Muslim-Muslim ticket is unnecessary. We all know. All these politicians are looking for votes. The Muslim-Muslim ticket is not about religion."
Peter Obi should reach out to other sections
On the political ambition of the Labour Party's flagbearer, Peter Obi, Gumi advised on what the former Anambra governor should do as he advances his political movement
The cleric called on Obi to reach out to other sections of the country and not leave politics to a particular religion.
