is right - the lead section is meant to be a summary of the article, and therefore all information in the lead section should be in the body. As long as it's cited in the body of the article it's fine - citing the same information twice is redundant. Check  Wikipedia:Good article review/Archive 16 where in a Good Article review of "Jihad (song)" the consensus was the lead doesn't need citing. If this is the only basis for placing this GAC on hold, I'd recommend Shadowhalo go to Good Article Review as I did.
