Kwankwaso Rejects Jingir's Call for Muslim-Muslim Ticket
Kwankwaso criticizes Jingir's remarks, which have faced backlash from political figures.
Rabiu Kwankwaso has publicly rejected Sheikh Jingir's suggestion for a Muslim-Muslim ticket in the upcoming elections. In a statement shared on his official X account on Monday, Kwankwaso described Jingir's comments as divisive and called for leaders to focus on unity and reconciliation within the political and religious spheres.
Sheikh Jingir's proposal has sparked significant political backlash, particularly from figures such as former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode. He criticized Jingir, asserting that the cleric's remarks have harmed President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima, implying that Jingir may be working against their interests.
The discourse surrounding the Muslim-Muslim ticket continues to generate mixed reactions among political leaders, with calls for unity becoming increasingly prominent, as indicated by Kwankwaso's remarks.
