Nigerians Are In Serious Distress – Gumi

Controversial Islamic cleric, Abubakar Gumi, on Tuesday lamented that Nigerians are in one form or the other in serious economic distress.

He called on Nigerians not to forget people currently in the den of kidnappers across the country.

Gumi charged Nigerians to pray for the safe return of kidnap victims hoping that the next government in 2023 would be able to address the issues.

The cleric expressed optimism that Nigerians would join hands together to vote for a government that can address the security issue in the country.

Gumi stated this in a chat with Daily Post on Tuesday.

He said, “I can say most Nigerians are in one form or the other in serious economic distress; nevertheless, we should not forget those under the mercy of kidnappers and the downtrodden.

“We pray for their immediate release and hope Nigerians will unite to usher in a new government that will address these difficulties.

Some passengers of the Abuja-Kaduna train are still in the den of bandit terrorists after the train was attacked on the 28th of March.
