Muslim Community Demands Review Of Lagos Commissioner-nominees by Omooba77: 8:52pm On Aug 08, 2023 |
The Muslim Community of Lagos State under the umbrella of the Joint Muslim Forum has rejected the list of commissioner-designates in the state and demanded an immediate reversal and review. The forum comprising over 30 Muslim Organisations in the state said the review of the list is imperative to reflect 60% in favour of Muslims in a fresh list. Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu had unveiled a 39-man list of commissioner-nominees with only eight of them who are Muslims. The Muslim community had immediately protested against it to no avail. But addressing a press conference, the convener of the forum, Sheikh Abdulrahman Ahmad declared that the “Muslims of, and in Lagos State wish to categorically state that the entire leadership of the Muslim Community of Lagos State representing various Muslim organizations, unequivocally and unanimously reject the list of commissioner-designates of Governor Sanwo-Olu and we demand a reversal and review to reflect 60% in favour of Muslims in a fresh list.” Ahmad who is the National Missioner of Ansar-ud-Deen Society of Nigeria, called on the State Government to respect the Constitution of Nigeria in immediate and subsequent appointments, saying “it is crucial in ensuring that all Lagosians feel included and represented in the government.” In attendance at the briefing were scholars including Sheikh AbdulRahman Adangba, Imam Adangba Central Mosque, Idimu, Lagos; Sheikh Ahmad AbdulMajeee Ayinla, Missioner, Nawairudeen Lagos State; Prof. Ishaq Akintola, Director, Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC); Sheikh Dhikrullah Shafii, Grand Mufti, Conference of Islamic Organizations (CIO); Hajia Riskiah Adam-Adedimeji, National Youth Coordinator; The Criterion (Al-Furqan), among others. ad Sheikh Abdulrahman decried the persistent marginalisation of the Muslims in the state, recalling the Muslim Community voted massively for the governor against all odds in the last election without collecting a dime. According to the group, there is the need for the governor to be fair to all the segments of the people he governs. “Nigeria practices representative democracy, the governor was elected to serve the people,” he said. The convener reiterated that the list “exhibited callous insensitivity to diversity, equity, and fairness.” He added, “Muslims make up less than 20% of the list, even though they constitute over 60% of not just the state’s population but her voting public. We observed that out of 39 Nominees only 8 are Muslims. “It is no longer news that this list is not pleasing to the generality of Muslims of Lagos. It is indeed an afront to our collective sensibilities and tragically confirmed long standing suspected misgivings about iGov. Sanwo-Olu’s genuine commitment to fair leadership. “Before anyone says “the Muslims have started again” please take some time to examine the facts: Go through the history of appointments by Lagos State Government; look at the demography that make up Lagos States; look at it from the lens of what is right and fair; the intention then becomes clear. “When many in the Christian community rightly or wrongly rejected Governor Sanwo-Olu and his party purportedly to protest the Muslim-Muslim ticket at the national level, we the Muslims of Lagos state stood solidly and voted enmasse to ensure his victory, but rather than show appreciation, it appears that Mr. Sanwo-Olu chose to perpetrate injustice and ingratitude in an ill-thought affront to the peaceful and accommodating Muslim community of Lagos.” Sheikh Ahmad stated that the Muslim community had witnessed several instances of injustice towards Muslims by the state government “through its unfavorable poli… https://dailytrust.com/muslim-community-demands-review-of-lagos-commissioner-nominees/ 2 Likes |

He added, “Muslims make up less than 20% of the list, even though they constitute over 60% of not just the state’s population but her voting public. We observed that out of 39 Nominees only 8 are Muslims. If the above is true, then it is too skewed against the Muslims in the state. Sanwo-Olu should remember that as he has been rightly reminded, the majority of Muslims voted for him, while he only had more Christians voting for him than they voted for Tinubu, but nothing compared to the Muslims voting. He must ensure to carry all along, more so, a very significant stakeholder in the state. 3 Likes |

When I saw Daily Trust, Muric's favorite media house. I expected to see this name Ishaq Akintola, Director, Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) and I wasn't disappointed. He probably cajoled, begged and manipulated the others to show up for the press conference since nobody took him serious the first time. Sanwo-Olu should not change that list to imaginary 60% else that will set a very dangerous precedent that you can easily blackmail government to alter appointments ratio. This is a democracy. Anyone not satisfied should vote for GRV in the next election. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Sanwoolu should round all of them in that group up and throw them in prison. Which Muslim group. What has religion got to do with Lagos commissioner. I sense MURIC in the background of this group, na only MURIC mumu enough to be pushing this narrative. How do they even know if those bearing Muslim/Christian name are actually practicing? Some wey be Chrislam self. Religious leaders are one of the big problem we have in Nigeria. 1 Like |

LegendHero:you must be very stupid for insulting our Muslim leaders that way. they are right. Lagos is a Muslim state and Muslims makes 60% of Lagos so why deny Muslims more position. Can you go to bayelsa state for instance and give Muslims 70% of political position and christians 30%. It can never happen that way because bayelsa is a Christian state, likewise Lagos is a Muslim state. we aught to have more political positions. |

Nigerian Christians only love the word "Marginalization" when their interest is threatened, the moment any Muslim bring up the issue of Marginalization, they will call him terrorist. Meanwhile, as a Muslim from Osun state living in Lagos, both my state of origin and state of residence governments have been taking over by Christians, but I don't care, as long as they can deliver. THAT DOES NOT MEAN DOES WHO CARE CANNOT SPEAK UP, IT'S DEMOCRACY FOR GOD SAKE. 2 Likes |

If we're going by your logic, would you then agree that Muslims have taken over the country since the majority of federal offices are now occupied by Muslims for the last eight years and counting?

MURIC is gradually poisoning and making Muslims become more dangerous and fanatical in Yoruba land. Islam is now dragging Yoruba growth backward. Many Muslims are not competent compare to their Christian counterparts in South west especially in term of education because their polygamous life's create more bad than good. Their polygamous create more poverty and crime avenue in South west. Check every motor park garage, ask drop out children, touts and condoctors; you will find out 85% are Muslims because their polygamous parents can't cater for them. MURIC should speak on how to decongest motor parks by carrying burden of these dropped out educationally so that in future there will be competent Muslims that can compete with their Christian counterparts that can fit many special government appointment vacancies meritoriously instead of always begging government out of pity, same is applicable in Osun that governor Adeleke complained about. 2 Likes |
