Nigeria Requires Leaders Who Consider Only Themselves And Their Families – Gumi

Renowned Islamic leader, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi expresses that Nigeria requires exceptional leaders for the nation to advance.

He stated that Nigeria continues to seek exemplary leaders who are ethical and committed to serving the populace, rather than their own personal gains.
Meanwhile, a former deputy National Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chuks Ibegbu, remarked that the new book by former military Head of State, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (IBB), titled ‘A Journey of Service’, reveals that the 1966 coup was not an Igbo coup but intended to position the late sage, Obafemi Awolowo, as Prime Minister.
In response, Ibegbu maintained that Nigeria must apologize to the Igbos for the misinterpretation of history.
“Nigeria is in dire need of outstanding leaders to guide this nation. We require individuals who are well-educated and courteous, genuinely eager to help others instead of just themselves. People with integrity and strong morals should be elevated to leadership roles in this country.
“Not the sort of leaders we currently have in this region who think solely of their own interests and their families,” he remarked.
Naija News reports that Gumi shared these insights during a function honoring Major General Abdulmalik Jibrin (Rtd) and Brigadier General Abdulkadir Gumi (Rtd), who have recently received government roles.

He noted that the leader of the 1966 coup, Kaduna Nzeogwu, was fluent in Hausa and was more aligned with the North than the Igbo.
The cleric expressed concern that insecurity has severely impacted states like Zamfara, resulting in diminished educational opportunities and unrest in several communities.
Babangida, in his publication, dismissed the notion that the 1966 military takeover was an “Igbo coup.”
