Kaduna Islamic Cleric Condemns Gunduje's Daughter Wedding, Says Its Against Islam

A prominent Kaduna-based Islamic cleric, Ahmed Gumi, has condemned the grand wedding of the Kano state governor Abdullahi Ganduje's daughter Fatima and Oyo state governor, Abiola Ajimobi's son, Idris, which lasted for two weeks. The first leg of the wedding took place on March 3rd in Kano while the last leg of the wedding took place in Ibadan, Oyo state over the weekend.

According to Premiumtimes, Sheik Gumi said the wedding where the couple were seen holding hands and cuddling is a ''disgrace to Islam and parenting in northern Nigeria''. He criticised the Sharia police in Kano for allowing such a thing to happen but were so quick to punish Nollywood actress, Rahma Sadau who was shoooting a music video in which she had body contact with the singer, Classic. 

The muslim cleric warned the people of Kano to be cautious of what he called the “wrath of God” citing the example of the crisis in Borno State.

Look at what happened in Kano. That thing really upset me. The daughter of the governor cuddling in the presence of people. Yet it was the same state that sanctioned an actress for cuddling someone in a musical video. Now the daughter of the governor has done it which means it is now legal. Where is the so-called hisbah in the state? This is the kind of leaders we elect. I am calling on the people of Kano fear Allah. This is the height of immorality and to also remind you of what happened to Borno state. You should not provoke Allah.” he said

Gumi Slams Buhari For Attending Ganduje's Daughter Flamboyant Wedding

Controversial Islamic scholar, Ahmad Gumi, has come hard on President Muhammadu Buhari over his presence at the wedding of Fatima, daughter of Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje, and Idris, the son of Abiola Ajimobi, Oyo State governor.

Senate President Bukola Saraki and 22 governors were also at the elaborate wedding which took place in Kano penultimate Saturday.

In a message delivered in Hausa, the cleric urged government officials against living in flamboyance at the expense of the masses.

Gumi said he did not keep quiet when a similar thing happened during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

“The vice-president of the previous administration (Namadi Sambo) married out his daughters in this place that you are seated. Governors and all former top government functionaries gathered in this place. Everybody was here, except the president (Goodluck Jonathan).

“At that time, there were bomb explosions here and there by Boko Haram. There were bomb explosions in Jaji (military cantonment), Sokoto, etc. I tried to explain to them that it shouldn’t be during weddings only that Muslims can meet. I told them that the problems that are facing the people should also be a basis for bringing us together.

“Why? No matter how important you feel about yourself, you are not as important as the prophet…..The woman whose wedding is conducted in a simple manner without hardship is more blessed. The Prophet married, he also gave out his daughters. He didn’t gather a large crowd because his daughters were getting married. Today, we have many channels of communication (radio, television, Facebook). You don’t need to gather a large crowd for a wedding… if a governor or president or minister attends the wedding, it is ‘Haram’ (prohibited) because their time, wealth and everything is for the government.”

He narrated how someone had to sell her property to be able to raise a little amount for her child’s education.

“As I am talking to you now, a woman called me, she was crying, she could not afford N8,000 to pay for a room for her son who got admission at ABU (Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria),” the cleric said.

“She said she sold all her possessions to secure admission for him and she is looking for N8,000 for his accommodation. Look at our governors chartering a flight to a wedding! Whose wedding? The reason why I am saying this is because I preached against it during the previous government. I am not saying this for any political reason, I am repeating what I told people in the former administration.”
