An influential Nigerian Islamic scholar, Sheik Ahmad Abubakar Gumi, yesterday warned President Goodluck Jonathan to resign or face humiliation in the 2015 election.
In a statement released earlier yesterday, Mr. Gumi said, “For Nigerians to be safe, [President Goodluck Jonathan] has three options. He either resigns or becomes impeached as the dirt becomes overwhelming, or he is humiliated in a general election.
This time around, [the possibility of] rigging a national election with such wanton scandals is almost nil.”
The cleric added: “What really matters most in life is
today not yesterday or tomorrow. For today, Obasanjo has done his best to admonish and warn the nation. I salute his courage and reversal! How many of our leaders can say what he said?”
The outspoken religious preacher also talked about his close shave with death. “On Tuesday, August 14, 2012, at about 3.30 p.m. two men were attempting to plant an IED (improvised explosive device) as I was on my way to the mosque when it accidentally went off, killing both. The two bodies were whisked away by the army preventing even the BBC and VOA Hausa reporters from filming the bodies. To date the bodies are hidden and the culprits are not identified publicly.”
Also in strengthening Sheikh Gumi’s position, an on-line commentator wrote: “[Henry] Okah admitted that Jonathan masterminded the bombing in Abuja for political ends. Why should it be farfetched that Jonathan plans to use snipers to murder democracy? The amazing thing is that [President Barack] Obama and the European Union [leaders] are aware of this plan and have kept quiet. We are on our own.
To stop the looming bloodshed which Nigerians are likely to witness, Jonathan must be impeached now. Is it normal for someone going into elections to behave the way Jonathan is behaving? He has told anyone who cares to listen that he does not care.
Would someone like that normally win an election? The National Assembly needs to be brave and impeach this armed robber now.”

Nigerians knows the fact but who will lead them, is among the politician that know them self and know there way out that have the gut to lay comment. If anything want to happen badly is the poor that suffered it a lot because before the blinking of the eyes the rich is out of the country with their family. All is well, is just a pity that is a country that is blessed with different resources that is passing through all this. All what is happening Nigerians(means the poor among them) as take it as PAST PRESENT AND CONTINUOUSLY no choice for the poor because they don't have any other option, you that have the option be careful life is not for one person we all have one GOD and we will surely come together as nobody NO POST FOR YOU, NOTHING LIKE MR PRESIDENT IS COMING, YOUR MAJESTY and any other Royal post because we will all be in front of our CREATOR. TRY TO BE A GOOD LEADER FOR UPCOMING YOUTH TO REMEMBER YOU AS A GOOD LEADER.
