Trump’s threat humiliating, severe ties with US – Islamic Scholar Gumi to Tinubu

Islamic cleric and Mediator, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has decried Donald Trump;s threat to send troops to Nigeria to fight Islamic Jihadists killing Christians as a humiliation to a sovereign country like Nigeria and urged the Federal Government to demand retraction from Trump.

Gumi who has mediated between terrorists and some State governments in the North West to maintain peace previously wrote on his verified Facebook page on Sunday condemning the President of the United States for threatening to draft American soldiers to Nigeria.

He called for diplomatic response urging a retraction and if Trump fails to retract, President Bola Tinubu should severe ties with the US.

He expressed disappointment that Trump threatening attack on a sovereign country was very disrespectful to constituted authority.

Gumi advised the Nigerian government to summon the U.S. ambassador and demand a retraction, warning that failure to do so should lead to severing diplomatic ties.

“President Tinubu should summon the US ambassador; they either retract their threats or we sever diplomatic ties with this irresponsible regime,” he said.

He also emphasized the need for Nigeria to explore other options for economic growth and military partnerships.
“There are lots of other options for our economic expansion and military alliance,” Gumi added.
