In a highly provocative statement, Nigeria's Ambassador-designate to South Africa, Femi Fani-Kayode, rebuked Islamic cleric Sheikh Yahya Jingir for calling for a continued Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket ahead of the 2027 general elections. Jingir, who praised President Bola Tinubu for promoting the Muslim-Muslim ticket in the 2023 presidential election, urged Muslims to support candidates from their own faith.
Fani-Kayode criticized the comments as divisive and inappropriate for Nigeria's multi-religious society, warning against such divisive rhetoric.
