A group, One Plateau, One Voice’, has reacted to claims by controversial Islamic cleric, Sheikh Sani Yahaya Jingir, that Plateau people are in support of the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and would vote massively for the ruling party in 2027.


The convener of the group, Dogo Nanzing, who took exception to Sheikh Jingir’s position while appearing on the People’s Movement, a podcast programme hosted by Jos-based radio presenter and comedian, Osama Apkunonu, on Saturday, said Jingir has no authority to speak on behalf of Plateau people as he is a settler himself and not an indigene of the state.

Nanzing said the ‘One Plateau, One Voice’ group found it rather insulting that Sheikh Jingir would assume the position of the mouthpiece of indigenous Plateau people and declare that everyone is in support of the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket.


Nanzing also accused the Islamic cleric of using religion to advance what he described as personal and political interests, insisting that Jingir does not speak for Muslims in Plateau State.

According to Nanzing, the Sheikh’s position does not reflect the general position of the people of the state.

“Yahaya Jingir is not one of us. He is not from Plateau. He is a settler and a resident on the Plateau, but not an indigene,” Nanzing said while responding to questions on the stance of the residents.

He explained that the cleric has, over the years, assumed the position of a spokesperson for Plateau Muslims and has increasingly made divisive comments which many misinterpret as the general views of the people, thereby causing unnecessary religious and political tensions.

The group’s convener further described Sheikh Jingir as a self-centred religious bigot whose antics were often driven by personal interests rather than the collective interests of Muslims or Plateau residents.

''Yahaya Jingir is only speaking for himself, his family and his pocket. He is not speaking for Muslims, and even as a leader of an Islamic sect, he is not speaking for the entire Izala movement,” Nanzing alleged.

He also cited the rejection of Sheikh Jingir’s remarks by the state chapter of the Jama’atu Nasril Islam, JNI, saying the organisation had distanced itself from a statement issued by an individual associated with its media structure in support of the cleric.

“JNI came out and disclaimed it completely. They distanced themselves from Jingir’s position. That tells you clearly that he is speaking for himself,” Nanzing said.

He urged the Plateau State government and relevant stakeholders to consider measures to prevent religious teachings that could incite hatred or division.

I was surprised when I heard that the Islamic terrorist lives/from from Platue..

Nothern Christians are very weak because they have been subjugated to submission politically by Islamic people. Some of them don’t just have options anymore.. Only few of them are still speaking out, and they are like lonely voice in the wilderness..

Tell me why a Muslim would make such provocative statement in a Christian state like Platue, and still boasted about it the following day and still moved on as if nothing happened ?

Nothern Christians sef !

They are weak because you Christians in the south refuse to support them. The Catholic Church prefer to meet Tinubu about election just because of their candidate Peter Obi but never speak about the massacres in Plateau, Benue and others because the majority of the victims are not Catholics but ECWA, COCIN and other indigenous Christian groups.

Why did you say that the Catholic priests didn't talk about the killings going on in Nigeria?
It's either you are pretending to be ignorant or you are really ignorant for saying so.

You are talking absolute nonsense, I don’t even know where to start engaging you..

We all know how the Fed government accused a screw driver seller in Onitsha for being the brain behind the raising of alarm about Chrtistian genocide.. Infact on this forum, southern Igbo Christians have been accused of being the ones alerting Americans about what’s going on on in Nigeria, so why switching narratives now to suit your deceits..

And lastly, Benue is a Catholic dominated state and they are victims of the Christian massacre..

I think the way Christianity is practiced in parts of the North is quite different from what we experience outside the Northern region. They seem to place a stronger emphasis on forgiveness and turning the other cheek, even when they are persecuted by unbelievers. Unfortunately, this can sometimes make them vulnerable to being taken advantage of.

No, its an act of summision dressed up as forgiveness..

So do you think we can tolerate such act here even as a Christian?

How did non indigenes become so powerful and even speaking on behalf of Plateau state?

No. Even God won’t be happy with you if you allow yourself to be eliminated without defending yourself Ist. ..

You are a habitual, chronic and unrepentant liar.
You have muddled up everything and if you have nothing to say just keep.quiet.
You are myopic, did the Catholic Bishop say anything about Obi when they met with Tinubu?
Is you and your household not going to the same markets that other Nigerians are going ? Are Nigerians not suffering due to economic hardships and insecurity.
My prayer is that none of your relatives or blood relations is kidnapped otherwise, you won't be here vomitting this bladderdash.
Your educational attainment calls for questioning if you have a first degree or beyond

Christianity is a very weak religion. When they slap you in the right cheek, turn the left for another slap.

The sheilk won't argue to that fact.

Nigeria desperately needs a census to correct a lot of the misinformation that has kept many cowering for so long. 🤔🤔

Too late, Plateau is gone, just like Kwara, Kogi state and parts of Oyo are now sadly overrun by these invaders.

Same way Yayi settled in Lagos and has returned home. Criminal will always be Criminal.
