Sheikh Ahmad Gumi says he is free to visit any part of Nigeria, responding to public backlash over his recent trip to Ibadan. In statements carried by Nigerian outlets, Gumi argues that no one can stop him from travelling within the country and addresses criticism linked to allegations around “Islamisation” and local political controversies.
According to the reports, the remarks follow controversy generated by his presence in Ibadan and wider reactions to his activities and comments. Gumi also references an expanded understanding of how what he describes as Islamophobia influences politics in Nigeria’s South-West, and says this context has drawn him into local disputes.
The coverage presents the response as a direct effort to clarify his intentions and counter calls for restrictions on his movement. Both sources frame the issue as a dispute over his visit and the political implications that critics attach to it, while Gumi maintains that he will continue to travel across Nigeria.
