Muslim-Muslim Ticket: ‘This Is A Dangerous Slope’ – FFK Blasts Islamic Scholar Over ‘Leave Nigeria Threat’.
Nigeria’s ambassador to South Africa, Femi Fani-Kayode (FFK), has strongly criticized recent remarks made by prominent Islamic cleric Sheikh Yahaya Jingir, who asserted that Nigeria is an Islamic nation.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a widely circulated video from a religious gathering, Sheikh Jingir told his congregation that citizens who oppose a Muslim-Muslim political ticket should consider leaving the country because it belongs to them.
Responding through a post on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, FFK dismissed the assertions, characterizing them as deeply provocative and an unsafe path for national unity. He emphasized that such statements must be avoided, reiterating that Nigeria operates as a secular and multi-religious nation.
Addressing political discourse around upcoming electoral tickets, FFK argued that support for a same-faith ticket stems entirely from the competence, character, sincerity, and delivery capacity of President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima, rather than their religious affiliation.
Key Excerpts from FFK’s Statement:
“Kindly take note that it is a very slippery and dangerous slope to take and is best avoided. Nigeria is NOT a Muslim country, and neither is she a Christian country.”
“She is a SECULAR and MULTI-RELIGIOUS state comprising BOTH Christians and Muslims in equal numbers and that is our strength.”
“We are supporting a Muslim/Muslim ticket for 2027, as we did in 2023, only because of the calibre, ability, sincerity of purpose, character, utility and electoral strength of our Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates…”
“One day we may have a Christian/Christian ticket too because with God all things are possible.”

The race features prominent contenders including incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke running under the Accord Party, Bola Oyebamiji representing the All Progressives Congress (APC), and Najeem Salam of the ADC. Salam previously served as the Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly from 2011 to 2015 and was re-elected for another term running from 2017 to 2019.
Meanwhile, political analyst and former Senate Presidential aide Kenny Okolugbo has raised concerns regarding Governor Adeleke’s recent switch from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the Accord Party, noting that internal party crises prompted the departure. Speaking on television, Okolugbo suggested that because the PDP will still be represented on the ballot paper, Adeleke risks splitting his core support base and might have secured a more unified advantage had he moved to the ADC instead.
