A footage have emerged of a Muslim Cleric, sheikh Yahaya Jingir, referring to Peter Obi and Igbo’s as Yamiri during a Jumat service at a mosque near PHCN office Wuse II

Nyamiri which is a derogatory word to Igbo’s, originally means “Nyem mmiri” which means give me water. A word Igbo people used to ask the Nigerian soldiers during the war when Biafra was overrun and deprived of food and water.

This is coming after Buba Galadima sent a very strong message to religious leaders collecting money from Buhari to deceive their worshippers during this election period.

According to a twitter user who shared the clip, he wrote;

Muslim Cleric telling his congregation not to vote for Atiku because his deputy is Yamiri, a derogatory word for Ibos.
This was during a Jumat service at a Mosque near PHCN office Wuse II.
Is this not hate speech? @segalink

Sheikh Yahaya Jingir, according to many, is known to ferment hate right from jos.
