The National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, the Vice Presidential Candidate of Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Rabiu Kwankwaso, and former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, yesterday took Islamic cleric, Sheikh Yahaya Jingir, to task over inciting statements against Christians in the country.
They also asked government to arrest the cleric and prosecute him to serve as a deterrent to other religious leaders in the habit of doing same.
The cleric had, in the presence of two governors in Kano last weekend, not only justified the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the All Progressives Congress, APC, for the 2027 elections, but also said Muslims should dominate Christians because they were more in number.
