Mohammed Abba Liman, the group’s spokesperson, said the northern elders dissociated themselves from the religious attack by Sheikh Gumi, adding that the cleric was only speaking about his opinion and not that of the people of the north.
Speaking on behalf of the group, Liman said the elders would continue to support President Tinubu and the FCT minister.
The group described Gumi as a “divisive element”, adding that it was easy for the religious leader to make an “unhealthy and inciting statement” because he had not come in contact with the horrors of war, conflict and pains.
