- Sheikh Yahaya Jingir has defended the continued success of the Muslim-Muslim ticket, arguing that it is necessary to sustain Muslim dominance in Nigeria.
- The remarks come amid ongoing debates over religion and political representation in Nigeria, particularly following the emergence of the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket in the 2023 election.
Islamic cleric Sheikh Yahaya Jingir has sparked controversy after advocating for the continued success of the Muslim-Muslim ticket, saying it is necessary to maintain what he described as Muslim dominance in Nigeria.
“If not for the Muslim-Muslim ticket, Christians in Nigeria would think they are more than us. This is why we must make sure the Muslim-Muslim ticket continues to succeed, so that our dominance remains sustained,” Jingir said.
His comment has triggered strong reactions on social media, with several Nigerians expressing concerns about the religious implications of the statement and its potential impact on national unity.
