Why Has Tinubu Not Addressed Jingir’s Alleged Divisive Remarks?

Jingir reportedly described President Bola Tinubu as his hero and praised the Muslim-Muslim ticket as a symbol of Islamic supremacy. He also allegedly said the ticket would “show the infidels,” referring to Christians and traditional worshippers. Supporters of Tinubu have criticised Peter Obi for not publicly restraining supporters who make divisive remarks. Why has Tinubu not been similarly pressured to denounce comments made by influential supporters such as Jingir? MURIC has also strongly backed the Muslim-Muslim ticket using rhetoric many Nigerians consider divisive. Critics argue that continued silence from the President could be interpreted as approval.

Has there been any clear response from Tinubu's camp on these reported remarks, or are people relying mainly on silence?

Yes, without a direct statement, it is easy for speculation to fill the gap.

The reported language is troubling because it frames a political ticket around religious superiority rather than equal citizenship.

That concern is fair, but alleged remarks should be assessed carefully before drawing wider conclusions about the ticket.

Allegations this sensitive should be carefully verified before everyone treats them as settled fact, especially when quotations are being circulated.

A direct clarification from the presidency and the speaker would help. Public figures should clearly reject rhetoric that targets religious groups.
