Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has stated that Sheikh Yahya Jingir should not be blamed for his controversial submission on the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket. Naija News reports that Jingir had recently praised President Bola Tinubu for adopting the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket in the 2023 election and urged Muslims to continue supporting the arrangement ahead of 2027. The cleric declared himself a staunch advocate of the ticket and called on his audience to support a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket. “Sheik Jingir should be excused for his extreme view in politics, he dwells in the eye of the storm of excessive bigotry against Islam,” Gumi wrote. Gumi urged politicians and religious leaders to keep religion out of what he described as Nigeria’s “dirty politics.”
