Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has accused popular Islamic Scholar, Ahmad Gumi of trying to ignite religious and ethnic war in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

To this end, Fani-Kayode said he should be cautioned against such move to destroy Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Recall that the cleric had said Nigeria can\u2019t afford to entrust the responsibility of securing the country to Christians.<\/p>\n

He made the remark in a sermon where he noted that President Bola Tinubu couldn\u2019t remain in power for a second tenure if he failed to meet specific demands.<\/p>\n

His comment came after the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, met with an Israeli envoy in Abuja.<\/p>\n

During the visit, Wike discussed the issue of security in Abuja.<\/p>\n

Aggrieved by the meeting, Gumi called for Wike\u2019s removal, stressing that he planned to transform Abuja into Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n

Reacting, Fani-Kayode called on the Federal Government to caution Gumi over his remarks.<\/p>\n

The All Progressives Congress, APC, chieftain made the call in a two-and-a-half-page article released on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The article reads partly: \u201cWhichever way you view him, one thing is clear: Gumi is trying to ignite a religious and ethnic war in Nigeria and someone needs to call him to order before it is too late.\u201d<\/p>\n
