Sheikh Ahmed Gunmi, a popular Islamic scholar and preacher has described the 2019 General elections as the worst in the history of Nigeria.
The Islamic cleric who made the claim while hosting the General Overseer of the Evangelical Bible Outreach Ministry Jos, and the Convener of the Movement of Initiative of a Brighter and Better Nigeria Prophet Isa El-Buba at his Kaduna residence on Thursday September 19, said President Buhari rode into power on corruption which he claimed he was fighting.
According to Sheik Gunmi, that it will take 40 years to recover from the ”damage’ President Buhari has done to the economy.
Gunmi said, ‘The last election was the worst ever. Election should never be rigged again. We invited the INEC, APC and PDP, and told them, ‘This is what we will do to stop rigging in 2015.’ When the election came, we realised we were handicapped because Nigerians were ignorant but they failed to realise that Nigerians could create an independent poll.
“In 2015, we saw that INEC was not ready for a flawless election. Then another government came with the mantra of change and anti-corruption. I expected the 2019 election to be neat, but I found it to be the worst I have ever witnessed.
“Many people came to me from all over the country; some came with videos and told me those millions of votes you see were coming from just a few hundreds.
“When the results were announced, they said, ‘We told you.’ So, what is the card reader meant for? How can you say you are fighting corruption and you are riding on corruption to come back and create economic damage that will take maybe 40 years to correct?”
