A Twitter person, @UchePOkoye, claimed that Bola Tinubu promised the Supreme Council for Sharia that the Sharia rule can be prolonged to the South if he turns into President in 2023.
The tweet connected a screenshot traced to a report by Vanguard Newspaper. The tweet obtained about 1,300 retweets and over 2000 likes.
The Findings:
That is FALSE!
The screenshot posted by the tweet to assist his declare that Tinubu intends to increase sharia to the South was from a report by Vanguard Newspaper, by which Tinubu reportedly urged Muslim leaders to create departments of Political Affairs.
The report was revealed on March 19, 2022, months earlier than Tinubu emerged as a Presidential candidate.
In the meantime, Tinubu was not on the stated occasion. As a substitute, he was reportedly represented by the Asiwaju Musulumi (a pacesetter of Muslims) of Yorubaland, Edo and Delta states, Chief Tunde Badmus.
In keeping with the report by Vanguard, and revealed by different media outfits, the division, as defined by Badmus on the Islamic occasion was “to create political consciousness among the many trustworthy in direction of producing a Muslim President in 2023.”
Conclusion:
Tinubu by no means promised to increase Sharia to the South, as an alternative, in line with the report quoted within the declare, he appealed to an Islamic affiliation, the Supreme Council for Sharia, to create a political division, to mobilize the assist of Muslims for him, and different Muslims vying for political workplaces.
