Hunger not new; Nigerians complaining now to make Muslim-Muslim ticket look bad – Islamic Cleric

Sheikh Sani Yahaya Jingir, the divisive head of the Izala movement, has chastised Nigerians for demonstrating against the suffering brought on by President Bola Tinubu’s economic policies.

The preacher said in a Facebook post on Saturday that the protests were organised to discredit the Muslim-Muslim ticket.

“Just because there is hunger now in Nigeria, Christians against a Muslim-Muslim ticket, and Shiites and hypocrites who don’t like the Muslim-Muslim ticket are now calling for you to come out and protest. May Allah undermine all planned protests,” he said.

Mr Jingir defended his views by pointing to previous situations in Makkah where famine was a problem.

“Even in Makkah, there was a period in history when hunger was so severe that people were eating dry bones,” the cleric said. “Is hunger a new thing? Is this the first time hunger has plagued nations?”

“May Allah curse those who are planning to protest,” continued Mr. Jingir.

Days had passed since youths in the north burned the Nigerian flag in protest of rising living expenses and economic hardship.
The country has witnessed numerous protests recently as Nigerians’ living conditions have worsened. This one is just one of many.

The Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, warned the Northern Traditional Council about the impending uprising against the Tinubu-led government in light of the current economic crisis.

Nigeria is experiencing increasing levels of suffering daily despite the government’s repeated promises of “renewed hope” for its citizens.
