During a Friday prayer service in Taraba State, Muslim cleric Sheikh Ibrahim Jalo Jalingo made controversial statements regarding the Tinubu administration. A worshipper immediately challenged Jalo Jalingo's claim that the government was not oppressive, shouting "That's a lie!" as the cleric spoke. Some worshippers then walked out in protest, as captured in a video.
Days later, Jalo Jalingo issued a Facebook post advising Taraba State residents to vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the upcoming elections. He argued that doing so would help end 20 years of oppression and injustice in the state. Jalo Jalingo suggested that voting for other political parties, including the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), African Democratic Congress (ADC), and Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), would perpetuate the same issues.
Social media users expressed mixed reactions to the cleric's political stance, questioning whether it was driven by personal interests or the well-being of Taraba State's residents.
