South West Muslim Leaders Deny Endorsing Jonathan by Nobody: 11:59am On Mar 19, 2015
In a swift reaction, MUSWEN’s Executive Secretary Prof Dawud Noibi; Chief Imam of Ibadanland, who is the president-general, League of Imams and Alfas Southwest, Edo and Delta states, Sheikh Baosari Haruna and Chairman, Muslim Community of Oyo State, Alhaji Ishaq Kunle disowned the Akure meeting.

They described it as an Ondo affair, which has nothing to do with the leadership of the Muslim Ummah in Southwest, Edo and Delta states.

Prof Noibi, who spoke though MUSWEN’s Media Consultant, Alhaji Femi Abbas, said MUSWEN leadership had decided not to meet any politician or political party because it’s aware of desperate moves by unscrupulous politicians to break the rank and file of the Muslims in Southwest.

He said “There is no prominent Imam from the Southwest at the meeting because we all agreed not to be part of such a clandestine move; no Chief Imam from Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun attended the meeting , except for the Chief Imam of Owo, who doubles as the Ondo State Muslim Community chairman and as secretary general, League of Imams and Alfas Southwest, Edo and Delta states, Alhaji Sheikh Ahmad Aladesawe.

“Aladesawe is only playing Mimiko’s card; he did that for his own interest.”
Haruna described the meeting as politically-motivated.

He denied sending a representative to the meeting.
“I am in Ibadan as we speak. I never asked anybody to represent me. Whoever said he represented me at the meeting is an impostor; he should be arrested and be prosecuted.
“Whatever benefits such person received either in cash or kind will not be useful to him,”
he said.
...
“Those who went there are dollar-hungry clerics; they dare not come out and tell the public their mission at the meeting, else they will be stoned.
We understand Sheikh Aladesawe was under pressure from Governor Mimiko to support Jonathan.
“Jonathan has forgotten so soon how he treated the Muslims during the composition of the National Conference, now he is running from post to pillar, seeking our support,” he said.
