The National Council of Muslim Youth Organizations, NACOMYO, has faulted the first appointments made by newly-inaugurated Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi.

The religious youth group said the appointment was lopsided and totally marginalized the Muslim community in Ekiti State.

The organization said this during a protest held at the Central Mosque, Ado Ekiti, on Thursday.

The National Council of Muslim Youth Organizations, NACOMYO, has faulted the first appointments made by newly-inaugurated Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi.


The religious youth group said the appointment was lopsided and totally marginalized the Muslim community in Ekiti State.

The organization said this during a protest held at the Central Mosque, Ado Ekiti, on Thursday.


The Coordinator of NACOMYO in the state, Tajudeen Olutope Ahmed, pointed out that excluding Muslim from the first three appointments announced by the governor was “shocking and highly disturbing to all Muslim in the state.”

Fayemi had yesterday announced the appointments of Abiodun Oyebanji as Secretary to the State Government; Biodun Omoleye as Chief of Staff and Yinka Oyebode as his Chief Press Secretary.

NACOMYO said Muslims in the state constitute about 40 per cent of the population, adding that the governor was given their total support by voting massively for him during the governorship polls.

They said, “The exclusion of Muslims from the entire membership of the core principal officers of this administration is therefore worrisome, unjust, condemnable and unacceptable. We see it as a calculated attempt to exclude Muslims from the fundamental aspect of decision making process in Ekiti State.

“The exclusion of the Muslims in this regard is a violation of the fundamental objectives and directive principles of state policy as enshrined in the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria (as amended).

“The exclusion of Muslims from the core principal appointments of Dr. John Kayode Fayemi is a derogation of the motto of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as provided in Section 15 (1) of the 1999 constitution (as amended). Rather than projecting ‘Unity and Faith, Peace and Progress’; the recent appointments made by the Government will breed “disunity, commotion and backwardness.

“We also call on the governor to ensure inclusion of Muslims in all appointments to be made in future at both state and local government levels this will pave the way for the reign of justice, equity and peace in the state.”

Hehehe when you fail at competing... you resort to primordial blackmails...

Ogun lakaaye youths, Sango olukoso youths, esu odara youths are all yet to receive appointments too! But none of them is making threats.. even ifa youths sef

The present FG did it own @ the national stage while MURIC and groups like these kept quiet.Continue your hypocrisy.

These Muslim youths should be conscious of their attitude because it is really bad if religious politics enter Yoruba land.

I always have respect for Yoruba religious tolerance but recent events is a danger signal no thanks to Buhari who started everything about religious politics in 2003 when he asked Muslims to vote a Muslim candidate.

In 2011 his party symbol was a Muslim school pencil. It shall never be well with Buhari

Will they shut up

I don't think Muslims in Ekiti state are up to 40 percent but as I don't live in the state. That's the beauty of democracy, you can exercise your rights which they did.

Better they wait till he finish constituting his cabinet and besides we Yoruba don't often play the politics of Muslim/ Christian thing, it belongs to the other crying people (You know them ).

Fayemi is practicing wat he learnt from GMB. bt dis youth group &muric supported GMB's nepotism so dey sud nt complain

iLoveAnambra:
We said it that Afonja muslims are the problm they have in Afonja land but they didnt believe...

the truth is that 94% of Skull miners are them..

Not correct

Buhari is the grandfather.

This is the reason Nigeria cannot grow more than this level.ethnicity and religion differences have eaten deep into people's souls.I wish we can have a law that will stop this nonsense

Muslims are not up to 20 percent in the state so they should stop forgery

Muslims and agitation.

In Oyo state where we have 50/50 of Christians and Muslims, Muslims have ruled for almost 15years of Democracy.


Governorship race is equally important as the Presidential race.
For reliable and attested Governorship candidate in Oyo state.
Vote✔✔
Engr. Seyi Makinde under the platform of PDP ☔
Vote wisely!

I Doubt If Muslims Are Up To 10% In Ekiti, they should channel their grievances to good governance

Some people will tell us that there is nothing like Yoruba Muslim or Yoruba Christian but the evidence of this dichotomy keeps piling up.
Let them continue to deceive themselves

No anger, unlike foolish ipob that would wail on such issues for the next 4 years. They are encouraging Fayemi to include them in his future appointments.

We in the SW don't care about religion. Even if na only Christians Fayemi appoints, we are ok.

dey don start their wahala

They should go and die jo

God punish all this religious fanatics
