Controversial Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has forcefully broken his silence regarding his highly publicized and heavily debated transit visit to Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, firmly dismissing widespread regional pushbacks that accused him of intentionally attempting to plant radical northern ideologies across the Southwest geopolitical zone.
In a strongly worded editorial published on his official Facebook handle on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, Gumi asserted his constitutional sovereignty as a citizen of the Federal Republic, boldly maintaining that absolutely no group, individuals, or state apparatus possesses the legal or political power to restrict his freedom of movement anywhere within the territory of Nigeria.
The fierce public debate escalated significantly following a viral video wherein an abducted Oyo school principal, Mrs. Rachael Alamu, heavily clarified that her kidnappers never demanded the implementation of Sharia law, a development that prompted the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) to instantly condemn the initial Sharia rumors as malicious falsehoods fabricated by enemies of Islam to ignite inter-religious crises.

Reacting to being constantly dragged into local political crossfires, Sheikh Gumi clarified that his previous presence as a keynote speaker during the Southern Nigerian Ulama Summit at the University of Ibadan was strictly executed in his official capacity as an accredited representative of the Coalition of Northern Muslim Ulama, rather than on the personal invitation of any Southwest Islamic bloc.
He concluded by asserting that deep-seated Islamophobia is actively being weaponized by regional actors to construct dirty local political narratives.
