Renowned Islamic scholar and a retired Major from the Nigerian Army, Sheikh Ahmed Abubakar Gumi, has taken a swipe at the military, over what he called vandalism and hijack, insisting that now is the time for the Nigerian Armed Forces to be truly professional.
Gumi, on Sunday, in Kaduna, in a statement entitled ‘‘DHQ: After the Denial Phase,’’ said today, the military could no more bully anybody except probably the uneducated almajiris. “Not even the rank and file of its men can be bullied, a lesson I hope those now in charge of its affair fully acknowledge, if they don’t they better know it now,” he said.
According to him, ”the last of the five Kubler-Ross phases of shock and grief is acceptance. And this is what I expect the DHQ to honourably do as ‘‘evidences’’ surfaced, and will continue to. I didn’t expect a ‘‘professional’’ military to rule out bad elements among its members and therefore would have been more appropriate to seek time to investigate with the hope of unearthing the root of the matter. He said but rather the paradoxical quick reaction insinuate a psychological state of a retrogression.”
“This slave of the nation has for long assumed the position of the master, the mentality of which has driven us presently to this deplorable state of insecurity. Neither the chief slave nor the working slaves realised that the true master has woken up from his slumber,” he said.
