ABUJA—AHEAD of the 2023 Presidential elections, a group, Concerned Yoruba Muslim Scholars In Nigeria, CYMSN, on Tuesday, insisted that a Yoruba Muslim must emerge as President or Vice President of Nigeria.

Speaking during a press conference in Abuja, the Acting President General, CYMSN, Sheikh AbduRasheed Mayaleke, stated that the Yoruba Muslims have overtime been relegated to the background when it comes to the issues of the presidency.

Mayaleke, however, warned that serious consequences may loom should the political parties present any Presidential or Vice Presidential candidate short of a Yoruba Muslim.
He said: “The Concerned Yoruba Muslim Scholars in Nigeria has noted with deep concern the unfolding scenarios with respect to the election of candidates by political parties ahead of the 2023 General elections in Nigeria.

“We have been watching keenly the process and political parties preparation and wishes to express our great concern for looming crisis if not averted.
“The present situation where presidential candidates were chosen alternately from the North and Southern part of the country was premised on understanding of the stakeholders to salvage the country as a united nation. We are of the strong opinion that no individual personal interests should be allowed to disrupt this arrangement which is capable of heating up the polity and return the nation to another round of anarchy in the political domain.

“Secondly, the assumption and attempt to permanently disenfranchise the Southern Muslims the opportunity to aspire for highest position of president or vice president of the country is undemocratic, injurious and will be resisted with all legal means available.
“It is no longer news that the opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP, has chosen a Northerner as its Presidential flag-bearer, even against the expectation that the candidate would come from the south based on the power rotation convention adopted.


“It is against this backdrop that we urge the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to choose a southerner, and this time around, a Muslim, as its presidential candidate moreso that there is underlying agreement at the inception of party’s formation in 2014. The Qur’an 17:34 says ” ..And fulfill the covenant, for you will be called to account regarding the covenant”

“Muslims in Yoruba land have long been relegated to the background over the years when it comes to the issue of the presidency. This time around, it will no longer be business as usual and if the party makes the mistake of denying us the opportunity of having a Muslim President through vicious power game plan, we will not take it.

“It should be recalled that Christian – Christian ticket ruled the South west in the first republic with Chief Awolowo as Premier while Chief Akintola was his Vice despite Muslims being the majority. Also, when Gen. Gowon became the head of state, he chose Awolowo as De facto deputy.

“Why is it that each time a Muslim candidate is poised to emerge as president or vice that the polity is always unnecessarily heated up to favor Christians in the Southwest, this is the fate that befell Late Chief M.K.O Abiola to favor Chief Ernest Shonekan and Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo and Asiwaju Tinubu to favor Prof Osinbajo in 2015.

“In the Southwest states till date, Christian – Christian ticket is a common phenomenon without much cry from the Muslim Ummah, why the fuss from our Christian counterparts as regards the faith of Muslim gladiators. For example, Chief Bola Ige had Chief S. M. Afolabi as Governors and deputy in Oyo State in the second republic, Chief Oyinlola paired up with Erelu Obada in the fourth republic as governor and deputy in Osun State and repeatedly in Ondo and Ekiti States.

“we want to restate that anything short of Muslim candidate from South west for the position of president come 2023 shall be roundly rejected by us and it portends grave danger to the unity of the nation.”

I totally agree with your submission that religion and politics must be kept separate. In today's Nigeria, however, if we are honest with ourselves, religion appears to be substituting ethnicity.

Christians should have conscience for once. Where they have the majority, it is winner takes all. Where they are minority, it is fairness and equity!
It is easier for camel to pass through eye of a needle than to have a Muslim presiding or deputizing in Ondo or Ekiti states just because they 'believe' they are the majority in those states. But they want to rotate the positions between the two religions in Oyo, Osun, Ogun and Lagos states. Even Kwarans are just waking up from slumber and very soon they should replicate the Kaduna example and stop making Christian deputy governor.
Justice and fairness is not only when it affects Christians. Injustice to one, is injustice to all

Yoruba Christians should better smell the coffee
Despite the humiliation of yoruba Muslims by Fulani Muslims they have never held Fulani Muslims accountable
But it’s to be looking to blame you for their woes


Fulani Muslim is treating Yoruba Muslims liek thrash and one Mumu is still saying kwara should stop election a certain way

Please bring that politics so that Yoruba Christians can finally take over Lagos where they are majority and won’t be subject to any form of subjugation

Anything going to the south goes to Christiandom hence Yoruba Christians have been able to attain highest level of power

They are already looking for a way to blame you for Fulani Muslim treating Tinubu like thrash despite wanting to shove down Muslim Muslim ticket down your throat after seizing schools Yoruba Christians built

The same Yoruba Christians voted Abiola
Supported Tinubu

No reason for Islamic political dominance in a state with 70% Christian population

Nigerians, including your so-called 'foes' - Yoruba Christians, voted for MKO/Kingibe ticket in 1993 without you instructing or forcing them to do so, even in an era when there was no hijab crisis and MURIC. It was IBB/Abacha, your brothers in faith, that scuttled MKO's chance of becoming the president.

And if your so called brothers in faith really loved you, would they hesitate to present a Northern Christian as a VP to a SW Muslim? Nothing is too much to sacrifice for someone you love.

You cannot boldly confront those working against your chances up North because you know they can be violent but you can attack your Christian brothers back home because they are gentle, being Christians. Their only offense against you is that they are being favoured by God. Shonekan became an interim head of state by chance just as OBJ (became president), who would have been killed.

Alhaji Adedibu was a king maker in Oyo for years while Alhaji Saraki held sway in Kwara but it was okay by you and you never raised a dust.

During MKO's crisis, it was your Christian brothers that were jailed most - Yemisi Olu Falae, Bola Ige, OBJ etc. Abraham Adesanya almost lost his life to an attempted assassination. Even the late Gani Fawehinmi, who was at the fore front of the struggle, had his wife's background faith in christianity.

By the way, you are indirectly marketing PDP candidacy by this message of yours. That you have had C/C or M/M tickets for governors in SW before does not mean it can happen elsewhere in Nigeria.

No doubt, some Yoruba Christians would still vote for a Yoruba Muslim if such emerged as a presidential flag bearer.
Nevertheless, SW is in Nigeria but SW is not the only region in Nigeria.
