Any northerner supporting Tinubu is an animal – Islamic cleric declares

A northern Islamic cleric has triggered discussion on social media after sharply condemning fellow northerners who continue to support President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

In a viral post online sighted by NN News Media, the cleric declared that any northerner backing the Tinubu government stands no different from an animal.

The message contrasts this stance with southern figures who directly approached the president and openly expressed dissatisfaction.

It further notes the heavy toll of deaths across the north while northern leaders remain absent from any comparable confrontation.

The post includes a video of the speaker in traditional attire delivering a forceful address. The content builds on earlier criticism of a brief presidential stop at an airport in Plateau State after deadly attacks, where the visit lasted only minutes amid complaints about power supply.

The overall statement frames persistent insecurity as proof of failed northern leadership and misplaced political support.

Some users treat the remarks as a needed demand for accountability.

The discussion continues to reflect deep frustrations over security governance and the performance of northern elites under the current federal leadership.
