Islamic scholar Sheikh Sani Yahaya Jingir has clarified his recent comments on the Muslim-Muslim ticket, saying his position was driven by what he described as the need to promote good governance and development.
Jingir spoke on Saturday at the Northern Muslims Intellectuals Forum in Jigawa State, where he addressed the controversy surrounding remarks he made during a recent visit to Kano.
He said his call for support for a Muslim-Muslim ticket had generated opposition, prompting him to conclude that more work was needed to explain his position to the public.
“When I went to Kano, I said Muslim-Muslim, but it turned out that some people did not like it. I said we still have work to do, so I will call the scholars to come and intensify our preaching,” Jingir said.
