Spiritual leader and National Chairman, Ulam’u Council of Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’a Wa’ikamatis Sunnah (JIBWIS), Sheik Sani Yahaya Jingir, has declared that he wouldn’t support President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election if the president drops Vice President Kashim Shettima.

Sheik Jingir disclosed this during a religious event at the Yantaya Mosque in Jos, the Plateau State capital.

Daily Trust reports that Sheik Jingir supported President Tinubu’s election in 2023 and urged his followers to do likewise.

Our correspondent reports that there ae speculations within the APC the vice president’s fate is hanging in the balance.

Responding on recent development in the APC, the spiritual leader said, “I have learnt that some unpatriotic people within and outside the APC have been making efforts to destroy Tinubu’s relationship and Shettima to achieve their surreptitious goals. That is not a welcome development, president Tinubu.

“Myself and others around me supported Tinubu and Shettima, and we’re backing your joint ticket. Any attempt to drop Shettima, I wouldn’t support that move because they had earlier agreed to contest and work together. I supported them without taking a penny from them. Although I am close to Atiku Abubakar, I chose to vote for Tinubu and Shettima. There are rumors circulating that things aren’t going well between the them but I don’t believe it. In my opinion, it’s the work of their enemies.”

Sheik Jingir, however, urged President Tinubu not to listen to those calling for him to drop Shettima in 2027, describing such people as enemies of progress.

Wether you support him or not.... Just know dat South is 4 + 4.

AMINDA:
We agree but which part of the South? Tinubu should immediately step down and support Obi then. I think it's a little too late for the SW to be begging for unity.

@topic, heads or tail, for allowing this speculation to fester, Tinubu has lost their votes already even if he ends up retaining Shettima. But the blowback will be even more severe if he drops Shettima. Contrary to what he thinks, choosing someone from the Northwest will still not make Northwesterners support Tinubu. Northerners are not like that. They are already wary of him and looking at him with distrust after the betrayal of Elrufai. Without the entire South rallying round him, I truly don't see a pathway to Tinubu's re-election.

Guy!! 😁..... You think Tinubu is Goodluck.... na now Northerners jam a Southern politician dat has A++ in Politricks.... The only people dat are gone are those opposing him.

AMINDA:
Okay. We've seen his grade in politricks, what is his score in governance? You keep mouthing "Tinubu is not Jonathan" but he's the first presidential candidate to have won an election with the least margin ever in the history of the country. Northern votes (5.6m) made him president, and that is fast evaporating. He lost the South woefully and is on course to lose the South again. Yes, Tinubu is not Jonathan but he's also not Buhari with a cult followership of 12m votes. He's beatable.
