Kaduna-based Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has expressed confidence that a Muslim will one day emerge as the President of the United States of America, following the historic victory of Zohran Mamdani, who recently became New York City’s first Muslim mayor.
Reacting to the development, Sheikh Gumi congratulated Mamdani in a post on his verified Facebook page, describing the win as a sign of greater things to come. He wrote:
“Mamdani has made it! ICU in Washington should be ready for heart attacks! Muslims will make it to WH,”
referring to the White House.
His comment sparked mixed reactions online while some hailed his optimism and pride in the Muslim community’s progress, others criticised the tone of his message.
