Controversial Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has
criticised the political leadership in Nigeria, saying that there is social
injustice in the nation.
Gumi disclosed this while speaking at a peace-building
symposium organised in Maiduguri as part of initiatives to reintegrate former
Boko Haram insurgents into society.
According to him, the nation has a weak justice system,
adding that the fabric of power is broken down.
“Whoever has any interest in our country, we have made
available for him soldiers he can conscript.
“So why do we leave our children uneducated? Why is
education not for everybody? Why do we leave our population poor?
“Some Nigerians are riding private jets while some Nigerians
don’t know where to put their children in school. There is social injustice. If
you go to the court system, justice is not there. The fabric of power is broken
down. So, the children are there to be used by anybody,” Gumi said.
