Four governors from the All Progressives Congress, APC, political party have come under scrutiny after video footage emerged showing them cheering an Islamic cleric's remarks that claimed Nigeria belongs exclusively to Muslims. The controversy arose during a mass wedding ceremony organized by the Kano State Government, where Sheikh Yahya Jingir made the anti-Christian comments while the four governors - Abba Yusuf of Kano, Umar Namadi of Jigawa, Dauda Lawal of Zamfara, and Dikko Umar Radda of Katsina - were present.
The governors' apparent approval of the cleric's remarks sparked widespread criticism from Nigerians. Former Minister of Aviation and Nigerian Ambassador to South Africa, Femi Fani-Kayode, expressed disappointment in the Kano State Governor's conduct, stating that it was more concerning than the cleric's comments. Plateau-based cleric Prophet Isa El-Buba also condemned the governors' response, questioning the security situation in Northern Nigeria and criticizing the level of criminality in the region.
