PRESS RELEASE:
7 MUSLIMS, 17 CHRISTIANS EXECUTIVE: MURIC SLAMS ADELEKE
Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State recently unveiled the
list of his commissioners which contains seven (7) Muslims and seventeen Christians
(17). However, the list has drawn the ire of the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC)
which has condemned the governor’s list. MURIC labelled Adeleke as a secret agent
of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) with a licence to oppress
Muslims.
The condemnation was contained in a statement issued on
Monday, 10th July, 2023 by the Executive Director of the human
rights group, Professor Ishaq Akintola.
He said :
Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State recently unveiled the
list of his commissioners which contains seven (7) Muslims and seventeen
Christians (17). However, the list has drawn the ire of the Muslim Rights
Concern (MURIC) which has condemned the governor’s list. MURIC labelled Adeleke
as a secret agent of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) with a licence
to oppress Muslims.
“We condemn this wanton blockage of
privileges that should go to Muslims and their diversion to over-pampered and
over-fed Christians in Osun State. By deceiving Muslims in the state and engaging
in spiritual hide and seek, Governor Adeleke has exhibited qualities odoriferously
short in honour and dignity but egregiously long in infamy and bohemianism.
The Executive Director of MURIC, who
clocked 70 and retired today, Monday, 10th July, 2023 also added :
“The goal of Adeleke’s deception is
for the perpetuation of the marginalization, shortchanging and oppression of
Muslims in Osun State. Adeleke is a secret agent of the Christian Association
of Nigeria (CAN). Like the legendary James Bond, a.k.a. 007 who had the licence
to kill, Adeleke has now acquired the licence to oppress Osun Muslims by becoming
governor of the state.
“But it is for a while. Time will tell.
Governor ‘James Bond’ and the few selfish Muslims whom he is using will soon
see that honesty and openness are what makes enduring leadership. Almighty
Allah says, ‘And do not barter away My verses for trivial gain, and fear Me
alone.’ (Glorious Qur’an 2:41).
“For the avoidance of doubts, we are
solidly for meritocracy but the latter does not reside in Christiandom alone. Eminently
qualified Muslims abound in large number for those who seek fairness and
equity. Gone are those days when anyone can use wool to cover the eyes of
Muslims.”
