I support Muslim-Muslim ticket because Tinubu is working – Jingir

Islamic scholar Sheikh Sani Yahaya Jingir recently clarified his stance on the Muslim-Muslim ticket, emphasizing his focus on promoting good governance and development. This clarification came after the controversy surrounding his comments during a visit to Kano. Jingir acknowledged that his initial call for support of a Muslim-Muslim ticket generated opposition, prompting him to conclude that further explanation was needed to the public.

He stressed that his position was not intended to provoke insults, false accusations or broken promises, but rather to encourage constructive political and religious engagement. Jingir also explained his continued support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration, attributing it to the Muslim-Muslim ticket and the development he perceives under the current government.

He contrasted the present situation with the treatment of Muslims during a previous administration in Plateau State, noting a marked improvement under Tinubu's administration.
