Former Kano State governor Rabiu Kwankwaso has condemned Islamic cleric Sheikh Sani Yahaya Jingir for supporting the continued adoption of Muslim-Muslim presidential tickets ahead of the 2027 general elections. He recently had his say via a press statement posted on his official X account, and Nigerians have been reacting.
Describing Jingir’s remarks as divisive, he simply urged political and religious leaders to promote unity and reconciliation.
He concluded by stressing that religious and political leaders have a responsibility to avoid statements capable of deepening divisions in the country.
His words, “I am deeply concerned by the comments made by Sheikh Sani Yahaya Jingir at an event in Kano this weekend. At this critical moment in our nation’s history, statements that promote division and disunity must be firmly discouraged.
It is particularly troubling to hear such rhetoric from a religious leader of Sheikh Jingir’s stature and influence.
Let it be clearly stated: the good people of Kano do not endorse or support these divisive remarks. Political and religious leaders alike carry a solemn responsibility to uphold truth, foster unity, and advance reconciliation.
The 2027 general elections will be an opportunity for Nigerians to reward good governance with resounding support and to reject poor performance at the polls. This administration has earned the latter.”
