He, however, said the moment bandits are declared terrorists, the direct foreign Jihadist movements will set in force, and many unemployed youths may find it palatable and attractive.
However, in a tweet via his verified Twitter handle on Wednesday, Fani-Kayode described Gumi as a terrorist in disguise and a sympathiser of bandits.
Fani-Kayode added that the Islamic cleric is worse than the slain leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, and the head of ISWAP in West Africa, Al-Barnawi.
He wrote: “Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, the Rasputin of Arewa, whose father once said a Christian must not rule Nigeria & who himself said the FG must not declare the killer bandits as terrorists is worse than Abubakar Shekau & Al Barnawi. He is a venomous snake & a wolf in sheep’s clothing.”
