Gumi attacks Femi Adesina…you are a bootlicker

Prominent Northern Islamic cleric, Ahmad Gumi has fired back at Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina over a ‘bandit-lover’ tag in his article. 
 
Adesina had in an article titled, ‘I Like This Pampering. Don’t You?’, hailed the military the ongoing offensive against bandits, a development which Gumi said is affecting innocent lives with bandits “going nowhere”. 
 
The presidential aide who did not mention any name in his article wrote; 
 
“A bandit-lover is on record as saying a military offensive would not work, and that the bandits “are going nowhere.”
“True? False. They are going somewhere. And that is: hell.”
 Responding to this in an article titled  ‘War Has Never Been A Solution Anytime Anywhere,’ Gumi dissociated himself from the tag and also described Adesina as a “bootlicker”. 
  
Gumi wrote; 
  “You bootlicker that called me a bandit-lover! I am not one, but my country-lover, my region-lover, my state-lover, and my people-lover, and humanity-lover.
“I am a qualified medical doctor who knows what it takes to precisely excise a brain tumour without destroying the delicate surrounding brain tissues. I was a commissioned military officer who knows what the military is for and what is the capability of our military. I am an intellectual with a Ph.D. from abroad. I am an Islamic scholar who knows the immorality of killing innocent lives. So, silence for me in this ocean of oblivion is not an option.
“Only a fool would allow his dwelling to be a theatre of war. Unfortunately, how many fools are there. Killing rats in your rat-infested sitting room with an iron rod will only end up destroying your gadgets and furniture probably without killing any. We should not mask out poor governance with artillery power.
“Some disingenuous people say: peace and negotiations with herdsmen, bandits have failed, and your mission has failed!
“I said my mission has not failed but it was sabotaged or discouraged by the same influential people that benefit from the chaos or like us to destroy ourselves and leave the herdsmen in perpetual ignorance.
“Some said we have tried amnesty but it didn’t work.
