President Johnathan Must Resign For Nigeria's Safety Or Face Humiliation - Sheik Gumi

An influential Nigerian Islamic scholar, Sheik
Ahmad Abubakar Gumi, today warned
President Goodluck Jonathan to resign or face
humiliation in the 2015 election.

In a statement released earlier today, 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.”

President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday announced the discovery of 44 new mineral deposits in 800 locations across the country in addition to the over 50 billion barrels of oil reserves. He also disclosed that efforts were being made to generate power from coal in line with his administration transformation agenda. President Jonathan who stated this at a 50th Annual International Conference and Exhibitions of Nigerian Mining and Geosciences Society (NMGS) in Benin City, the Edo state capital, said the implementation of road map for the development of solid mineral sector in 2012 has no doubt led to increased sustained flow of Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) in exploration and extraction of minerals- which include coal, gold, iron and ore. Represented by the Minister of Mines & Steel Development, Musa Mohammed Sada, Jonathan noted: "We are full of optimism that not only will more mineral types and new locations be discovered, the exploration and exploitation of these valuab...

Man Receives 20 Lashes For Practicing Homosexuality in Bauchi

Image
A Nigerian man has received 20 lashes after an Islamic court in the northern city of Bauchi convicted him of homosexual offences. Under Islamic law, courts can punish homosexual acts by stoning to death. But the judge said he took into account that the Muslim man, Mubarak Ibrahim, 20, carried out the acts seven years ago, and had stopped the practice. In Nigeria, homosexual acts are illegal under both Islamic and secular law and restrictions have been tightened. Earlier this month, President Goodluck Jonathan signed into law a bill which bans same-sex marriages, gay groups and shows of same-sex public affection. The new legislation applies throughout Nigeria. Most states in the predominantly Muslim north of Nigeria have adopted Islamic law, known as Sharia, since the end of military rule in 1999. Along with Mr Ibrahim, 11 other Muslims and a Christian man were arrested last month accused by the authorities of being homosexuals. He was also ordered to pay a fine of about $30 ...
