Why Muslim-deputy governor is pertinent in Ondo – MURIC

As a multireligious state with a large Muslim population, the new governor will be injecting a heavy dose of interfaith tolerance and inclusivity by picking a Muslim as his deputy

MURIC

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has said that nominating a Muslim as deputy governor in Ondo, will help in “injecting a heavy dose of interfaith tolerance and inclusivity” in the state.

This position is contained in a statement by the Executive Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, mailed to THESTORIES on Sunday.

According to MURIC, Muslims in Ondo have had long history of political alienation, economic marginalisation and social ostracisation.

“The office of deputy governor has been vacant since the assumption of office of Governor Lucky Ayedatiwa.

“As a multireligious state with a large Muslim population, the new governor will be injecting a heavy dose of interfaith tolerance and inclusivity by picking a Muslim as his deputy.

“Muslims in Ondo State have a long history of political alienation, economic marginalisation and social ostracisation. Their complaints have become legendary but nobody ever listened.

“Governor Aiyedatiwa will be chatting an entirely new course if he can change all these by giving Muslims in Ondo State special attention this time around. The governor has no problem identifying suitable candidates as eminently qualified Muslims abound in all sectors in the state and some of them have been active in Ondo politics.”
