Plateau Group Rejects Sheikh Jingir’s Claim of Support for APC Muslim-Muslim Ticket

Plateau Group Rejects Sheikh Jingir’s Claim of Support for APC Muslim-Muslim Ticket

One Plateau, One Voice has rejected Sheikh Sani Yahaya Jingir’s claim that Plateau residents support the APC’s Muslim-Muslim ticket ahead of 2027. The group’s convener, Dogo Nanzing, said Jingir has no mandate to speak for the people of Plateau or for Muslims in the state. He described the cleric’s comments as personal and politically motivated. Nanzing said the Jama’atu Nasril Islam chapter in Plateau had also distanced itself from statements supporting Jingir’s position. He called on the state government and other stakeholders to address religious messages that could fuel division.

Who should be considered credible enough to speak for Plateau residents and Muslims in the state on an issue like this?

What clear mandate or process would show that any spokesperson truly represents those communities?

The disagreement shows why broad political support claims need clear backing, especially when they are presented as representing an entire state.

Rejecting one person's claim is fair, but it does not automatically settle what every Plateau resident thinks about the ticket.

Political groups should state their positions openly and let voters judge competing views ahead of 2027 rather than relying on sweeping declarations.
