Fiery Kaduna State-based Islamic scholar, Sheikh Abubakar Gumi, has slammed a former Minister of Aviation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode over his defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The former minister, who had been a great critic of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration joined the APC, on Thursday, after he was received by the President at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, in Abuja.
But Sheik Gumi, reacting to Fani-Kayode’s defection, shared a throwback statement by Fani-Kayode in 2018 saying he would rather die than join the APC or bow to President Buhari.
The Islamic cleric said he had long neglected the ranting of Mr. Fani-Kayode, “knowing fully well that he is a traitor and fake.”
He described the former minister as a ‘Yoruba Judas and a traitor’.
His post on Facebook read, “I have for long neglected the rantings of the Judas of Oduduwa attacking me knowing fully well that he is fake and a traitor.
“Time has now caught up with him and thanks to Allah, all his vituperations are cast in the dustbin of merciless history.
“It’s him now one wonders which of the seven circles of hell this duper will settle if he doesn’t repent,” Sheik Gumi wrote.
