Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) on Friday gave the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, notice to quit the government house by 2023.

The quit notice was given over the governor’s plan to return schools to missionaries which was announced yesterday.

The quit notice was contained in a press statement issued by the director of MURIC.

The statement read, “Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State yesterday announced his plan to return public schools to missionaries. We receive this announcement with a pinch of salt. It is a blow below the belt. It is arbitrary, a betrayal of trust, and a most provocative move. Coming at a time Muslim liberation struggle is at its peak, the move is most unwise, audacious, and insensitive. It had better not be. Makinde should perish the thought.

“The governor is acting the script written by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN). It will fail. Those schools are our common patrimony. He cannot give them out just like that after the government has spent billions of Oyo State taxpayers’ money on adding more, renovating, purchasing equipment and maintaining the infrastructure, paying teachers’ salaries, etc for more than 50 years.

“The idea is to perpetuate the suppression of Muslim children in public schools by claiming that the schools belong to missionaries. These are neo-imperialists seeking all means to remain relevant, powerful, and dominant.

“Yet the so-called missionary schools were built on land belonging to our Muslim forefathers who were deceived by the Christian colonialists into giving out the land ‘gratis’ in most cases. Apart from the land which was given free, our Muslim forefathers also paid tax into the coffers of the colonialists to build the schools. Nobody should try to pull the wool over our eyes. The difference between the colonial government and the missionaries is like six and half dozen. Peter was robbed to pay Paul. The colonialists collected our hard-earned money and gave the missionaries.

“It was the mother of all treacheries when the colonialists gave the schools missionary names after completing the buildings. Not only that, they turned round to bite the finger that fed them by rejecting Muslim children who refused to change their names to Christian nomenclatures. Majority of the Muslims had to succumb. Thus Abdul Rasheed became Richard, Yusuf became Joseph, Ishaq became Isaac and Maryam became Mary.

“Anybody who observes the trajectory of Makinde’s administration will know that he came with the sole agenda of subjugating Muslims in Oyo State to the whims and caprices of CAN. But the Muslims of Oyo State will resist this with every legitimate means at their disposal.

“There must be consequences for irresponsible and reckless leadership. There will be peaceful rallies and protests until Makinde rescinds his decision. The Muslim youths in the state have taken Makinde’s plan to return schools to missionaries as a confrontation. Already, the Muslim Students Society of Nigeria (MSSN) has fired the first salvo. Makinde has miscalculated. He assumes that his very few contract-seeking Muslim business partners control the Muslim community of Oyo State. He will soon know the truth.

“Makinde is in the habit of snatching from the Muslims what belongs to them. Yet he wants Muslims in the state to continue to cooperate with his administration. He lives in self-delusion with his divide et impera as he hoodwinks an infinitesimal minority of Muslim dealers and ignores the real Muslim leaders. With this ill-advised announcement, he has betrayed those few stomach-infrastructure Muslim dealers who always claimed they needed to be near the governor.

“Makinde will soon know his fate. Muslims will teach him an electoral lesson. We expect Oyo governors to take a cue from what happened to Bola Ige in 1983. Nobody plays with Muslim interest in Oyo State and gets away with it.

“Makinde started by toying with the Hijrah holiday which his Muslim predecessor (ex-governor Ajimobi) gave us. He also refused to issue any circular on hijab to date. He marooned his Muslim deputy governor for three good years until the latter was eventually impeached and replaced with a Muslim-by-name deputy. Seyi Makinde’s anti-Muslim agenda cannot stomach the idea of a genuine Muslim deputy governor.

“We hereby give the ‘Eleyi of Agodi’ notice to quit Agodi Government House come 29th May, 2023. The Muslim dealers masquerading as Muslim leaders and romancing with our traducers for contracts will not be able to save him. Makinde’s days in the government house are numbered. He has murdered sleep. From this day to 29th May, 2023, Makinde shall sleep no more. We advise him to start loading his backpack with his most essential commodities from today.

“MURIC calls on Muslims in Oyo State to possess their possessions. We shall all face Allah Yawm al-Qiyamah to report what we did for Islam and the Muslims. How did we meet the Ummah of Muhammad (SAW) and how did we leave it? It is time for Oyo Muslims to decide whether they want freedom or slavery. Those who do not respect and preserve our spiritual heritage must not be allowed to rule us. Makinde must not be allowed to stay in Agodi Government House a day beyond 29th May, 2023.”

Shame no dey catch you

Return schools to the original owners for a better administration.

MURIC should also identify with some Islamic Schools, and take over the day-to-day activities abi why this man like wahala like this ?

the missionaries will do better

Do these muric people smoke cheap Igbo before releasing their statements



Tufiakwa

Let those schools be returned to the missionaries that established them, and let them be paying tax to govt. Believe me, if those schools were established by Muslim missionaries, this MURIC will ensure that every students must adhere to Islamic cultures and teachings.

The owners of the schools are taking over their schools, let MURIC go and open their own.

Biggest shame on you,kiddo.

It's only in the south west states that these mumuric bigots bark.

If you don't like the governor's decision in returning schools to missionaries because your hijab wouldn't be tolerated, then go and build your own Muslim schools!

Idiotic bunch!

Biggest shame on you,kiddo.

Members of Christ-satanic Congress of Hellfire (CCH) will say anything to justify evil.

He enjoys arguing.
Their religion is against western education, yet muric and his followers won’t leave western education alone.

I thought they have Islamic schools around.

Religion is what devides us.

And Islam is at the center of it. They always sound aggressive

Boko haram didn’t do more than this and now they are a full blown terror group. Muric is not different from ISWAP and Boko Haram.

One thing I can't fathom is that this set of human reasoning is it normal as a human being? Or muric is just catching cruise to be relevant because have never heard anything sensible for once coming out of his mouth

Muslims and their wahala.

Don't you also have Muslim schools?
You just like to they cause troubles here and there.

And they are the people projecting Muslim Muslim ticket In Nigeria.

Nonsense and ingredients.

You sound like an immature child.

This was exactly what PETER OBI did over 10years ago, and those mission schools are now providing the best form of education to Ndi anambra today. Good move by The govrn.

Is that a description of who your father is?

Muslim schools should be returned to Muslims, Christian schools should be returned to Christian.

While the govt pay workers and finance school projects via the churches/mosques.

In Ondo State you tried this nonsense and it didn't work. Akeredolu just treated them as if they don't exist. When will MURIC baboon realize that he is a born loser?

The insensitive muslim-muslim ticket has stirred up religious division in the West. MURIC is going to be the tool of suppression of Christianity in the WEST

This boldness will not speak well for the Christians in the West. If you like, support Tinubu-Boko haram ticket, it's non of my business

I have been to Anwar ul- Islam

Yes, there are Muslim schools.


They are only trying to make sure that Christianity is suppressed until shut out

There are Muslim schools all over. They are just intolerant, that's why you hear of wars in Muslim countries. Intolerant and extreme

Imagine how these people would have reacted if it was a Christian-Christian ticket in contention. I'm all for religious tolerance and unity, but I also understand the need for checks and balances.

Religion bigot for giving back schools to owners. Why must Muslims always think backward? Why not build your own schools in addition with what you have instead of just giving birth and marrying multiple wives and breeding poverty? You are accusing church of taking tight and offerings, they used to build churches for themselves, but Muslims used their own money to marry multiple wives and plenty children in poverty.

Now Muslims get return on investment of poor children they gave birth to without proper care, some of them are now recruited as terrorists, bandits, garage touts and trouble makers that Sharia law can not even tame again. Muslims should raise money instead of serving as stumbling block to real owners of schools that need them
