Sheikh Muhammad Jingir, Chairman of the Ulama Council, has expressed no regret over his stance advocating for a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket, despite criticism. Jingir, in an interview with the BBC, maintained that his support for such a ticket was not exclusive to the current administration and was based on Islamic principles.
He urged Muslims to recognize their demographic dominance and exercise their voting rights accordingly. Jingir clarified that his position was not limited to President Tinubu and Vice-President Shettima, but rather aimed at any Muslim leader facing difficulties in Nigeria. He defended his comments, stating that he was promoting Islam, not a specific politician, and emphasized his right to advise Muslims on how to exercise their voting rights.
Despite knowing that his stance would attract criticism, Jingir expressed no concern and reiterated his commitment to the cause.
