Kwankwaso Expresses Concern Over Sheik Jingir’s Comment At Kano Event

Vice Presidential Candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, in the 2027 general election, Alhaji Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso Tuesday expressed concern over the comments made by Sheik Sani Yahaya Jingir at an event in Kano at the weekend.
Sheik Jingir, a Muslim cleric, had at the event said that Muslim-Muslim ticket in Nigeria’s presidential election showed dominance of Islam in the country.
Reacting to the cleric’s statement on his X handle @KwankwasoRM, he said: “I am deeply concerned by the comments made by Sheikh Sani Yahaya Jingir at an event in Kano this weekend.”
Continuing, Kwankwaso a former governor of Kano State said: “At this critical moment in our nation’s history, statements that promote division and disunity must be firmly discouraged.
“It is particularly troubling to hear such rhetoric from a religious leader of Sheikh Jingir’s stature and influence.”
Kwanskwo said that the people of Kano were not in support of the cleric’s rhetoric.
“Let it be clearly stated: the good people of Kano do not endorse or support these divisive remarks.
“Political and religious leaders alike carry a solemn responsibility to uphold truth, foster unity, and advance reconciliation.
“We must not lend our voices to utterances capable of undermining the very foundation of our nationhood.
“The 2027 general elections will be an opportunity for Nigerians to reward good governance with resounding support and to reject poor performance at the polls.
“This administration has earned the latter,” the NDC presidential running mate said.
