VIDEO: Enemies of Tinubu’s Muslim-Muslim ticket behind petrol price increment, says Islamic cleric Yahaya Jingir 

 

The National leader of Jama’atu Izalatul Bid’ah Wa’Ikamatis Sunnah (JIBWIS), Sheikh Yahaya Jingir, has shocked even his followers with a claim that the recent hike in the price of petrol was the handiwork of those against Muslim Muslim ticket of the ruling All Progressives Congress during the 2023 election.

 

 

The Muslim-Muslim ticket of President Bola Tinubu and his Vice, Kashim Shettima was controversial in the 2023 election because both men are of the same faith. Representations of Christians and Muslims in elective offices have always been the norm.

 

 

Yahaya Jingir, who was among the backers of the Muslim Muslim  ticket, made a wild claim during an event of JIBWIS in Jos at the weekend.

 

 

Speaking in Hausa to an unenthusiastic  crowd, Jingir backed his claim of a conspiracy against Muslim Muslim ticket with the claim that the petrol increment was announced when Tinubu was out of the country. Jingir also claimed that Vice President Kashim Shettima was also not notified about the increment.

 

 

Jingir told his audience that they should continue to defend the Muslim-Muslim ticket because they are doing it for God not because of Tinubu.

 

 

 

 

On X, netizens have given the Sheikh a tackle.

 

 

@shuraim said: “With due respect, those close to sheik Sani Yahaya Jingir should call him to order please, this is so embarrassing.”

 

 

 

 

@zaxkson said: “It is clear to me that this Cleric malam is one of the weapons APC is using against the poor masses of this country.”

 

 

@Farook255 said: “Am sorry to say but this so-called Sheikh must be a joke, ‘ya mayar da mabiyan na sa mahaukata.’ (He thinks his followers are mad.’

 

 

 

 

@MJO_Maddox said: “Nigeria has lost its course long before now. There is no telling if we will ever return to its right direction.”
