JIBWIS chairman Sheikh Sani Yahaya Jingir dismisses recent allegations that he hates Christians, saying the reports are “mere lies” and a misinterpretation of his remarks. He also calls on Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu and state governors to ensure justice and fairness for all Nigerians.
The claims draw from his statements made during a mass wedding event organised by the Kano State Government for 1,500 couples. One outlet reports that Jingir made comments in which Christians were referred to as “infidels,” but he insists his intent was not to express hatred toward Christians.
Overall, the outlets agree on the core point: Jingir denies dislike toward Christians and attributes the criticism to how his words were reported or understood, while reiterating a broader message about equal treatment under government. Differences lie mainly in how outlets describe the context of the remarks and the specific wording that triggered public backlash.
