Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Igboho, has criticized the northern Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, over his reported outburst regarding the appointment of Christians into strategic positions. Adeyemo stated that Gumi should not use subtle threats to secure his negotiation contract with bandits under the administration of President Bola Tinubu.

Adeyemo emphasized that Gumi should not allegedly use Tinubu's choice of ministers and their activities as a decoy to seek reckoning or make discreet threats to obtain the job of negotiating with bandits and terrorists, as he did during the previous government of ex-President Muhammadu Buhari.

A video clip of Gumi expressing his concerns about the appointment of southern Christians by Tinubu to head strategic positions in the North, along with Governor Wike's recent meeting with the Israeli Ambassador to Nigeria, Michael Freeman, has generated criticism from various quarters.

In a statement personally signed by Adeyemo and forwarded to journalists in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, he warned Gumi against "fanning the embers of disunity in Nigeria with his inflammatory statements." Adeyemo believes that Gumi's remarks are capable of causing disaffection among the citizenry.

Adeyemo further stated, "We are familiar with Gumi's background and his tactics. Before the rise of Tinubu, individuals like him should be answering questions to the security agencies about their roles in the ongoing insurgency in the northern parts of the country."
While advocating for an egalitarian society, Adeyemo emphasized the importance of promoting sanity and decorum. He believes that Nigeria's secularity, as enshrined in the 1999 Constitution, must not be violated by anyone, regardless of their position.
The popular southwest activist concluded by stating thus;
"We are not supporters of the Federal Government, but we remain part of the critical stakeholders in Nigeria's project. Hence, there's a need to promote peace and refrain from actions that could provoke mutual suspicion, distrust, and unnecessary crises among Nigerians," the statement concluded.
