Abdulrahaman Ahmad, son of Abubakar Gumi Ahmad, an Islamic
cleric, has graduated from the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA).
Gumi, the controversial cleric, previously served in the
Nigerian army, where he attained the rank of captain before retiring.
On Sunday, Shehu Sani, former Nigerian senator, posted a
photograph of Gumi and son on X, congratulating Abdulrahaman on his graduation
from the NDA.
“Sheikh Gumi’s son Abdulrahaman Ahmad, graduated from the
Nigerian Defence Academy; Congratulations and wishing him all the best in the
service to our country,” Sani wrote on X.
According to sources, the graduation ceremony for the new
cadets is scheduled for Saturday, September 27.
The source told TheCable that the photograph currently
circulating on social media originated from a pre-graduation programme.
Meanwhile, Nigerians have expressed their views on Sani’s
social media post.
The responses were varied, reflecting the complex views
surrounding the Gumi family, especially given Gumi’s controversial role as a
mediator between the government and bandits.
“Okay…..now I understand why your government is
reintegrating Boko Haram terrorists into the Nigerian military,” Aondona
Onjefu, a netizen wrote.
“What a smart move by Gumi, bokoharam spokesperson/mediator
has successfully planted his son in the Nigerian army. Do your arithmetic well,
you will surely have the equal to =”, another user commented.

Y'all dont know what your main issue is.
A senator (or an ex senator) is here congratulating the son of a bandit middle man?
Seems Gumi is more patriotic than our political class put together, including the NURTW boss, the Tinubu boy, who has a daughter that recently graduated from the US army. Congratulations 🎊 to him

His father has been feeding the very criminals who spilled the blood of uniformed men. May he rot while eating from the same cursed plate the fallen heroes were forced to swallow from, let the taste of their sacrifice burn his tongue and poison his soul.

Careful forensic background checks would disqualify certain elements from being enlisted in the nation's security services.
