Nigeria’s Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has criticised Burkina Faso’s military leader, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, over his position on Sharia and governance.
In a post on his Facebook page on Saturday, Gumi described Traoré as too young and inexperienced.
He further said that the Burkina Faso’s leader is very naive to fully understand the complexities surrounding religion, society and global politics.
According to him, Traoré’s approach could create opportunities for extremist groups to exploit public sentiment and attract more supporters.
He warned that leadership decisions require a deeper understanding of social and geopolitical realities.
“Captain Ibrahim Traoré (born 14 March 1988), with his anti-Shariah stance, at the age of 38, with nothing but military training on his resume, is too naive to understand even the complicity of the society he is ruling under the gun, let alone the dynamics of contemporary geopolitics.
“He has given the extremists the weapon they need to conscript more foot soldiers against his secular regime,” Gumi said.
