Youth Leader Warns Against Religious Exclusion in Nigeria’s 2027 Politics
A youth leader from Anioma has urged Nigerians, particularly people of the Niger Delta and the South, to resist the use of religion as a tool for political exclusion. He was reacting to reported comments linked to Sheikh Sani Yahaya Jingir on a possible Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket in 2027 and concerns about religious representation in public office. He argued that political leadership should be based on constitutional rights, competence and voters’ choices, not religious dominance. He called on political leaders, religious institutions, civil society and security agencies to address divisive statements through lawful means. He stressed that Nigerians of every faith must have equal rights to seek public office and participate in the country’s democracy.
