Naijaonpoint reports that Gumi made the claim while addressing his congregation, saying he received an early-morning phone call from a source he declined to identify, who alerted him to discussions at a high-level security meeting.
He said, “They called me from Abuja, that there was a security meeting. They said I have been marked; that I will be eliminated. And who are Boko Haram?”
According to the cleric, the caller told him that his name had been mentioned among those allegedly slated for assassination.
“Even American, they said they came to fight terrorists, so who are the terrorists? They are the ones,” he added.
Gumi went further to blame the United States for the emergence and persistence of the Boko Haram insurgency.
“They are the ones doing it, Boko Haram. You will hear something. Here won’t they put bomb?” he said.
The cleric alleged that Nigeria’s worsening insecurity and social divisions were aggravated by lies, destruction and policies he attributed to former US President Donald Trump.
He claimed that Nigerian leaders and religious figures failed to speak up as the country drifted deeper into crisis.
According to Gumi, foreign-backed narratives and financial interests had falsely framed Christians as the sole victims of insecurity, thereby sowing division and suspicion among Nigerians.
He said, “Because of lies, you brought violence, but where are the leaders, what did they do?
“What about the scholars? Where are they? Everyone has gone to hide in their corners.”
Gumi argued that no sovereign nation would accept external interference designed to divide its people along religious or social lines.
Gumi said, “Which country would agree to bring something in just to divide its people? There is no country that would accept that
“It would say either you bring all of us together, or you hold us and hand us over to them.”
The cleric accused political and religious elites of abandoning meaningful dialogue, saying Nigerians were now faced with hardship, oppression and denial of rights.
“You brought us hardship, you broke us. You oppressed us, you denied us our rights,” he said, lamenting what he described as the labelling of parts of the country along religious lines.
Gumi warned that fear, silence and division were dragging Nigeria backwards, stressing that continued avoidance by leaders and clerics would only worsen the nation’s challenges.
He said, “This is the kind of situation we are in. It is dragging the country down.”
