The south west is not religiously tolerant.

d Muslim in ekiti are not up to 10%, his mad, he should go and tell them in some part of d north where dey mostly do Muslim/Muslim ticket

Olabenjamen22:


What is this one saying?
What did your mumuric raise?
I guess you should read your mumuric page again, this is not about choosen Muslim deputy but your mumuric is here dictating who your Muslim brothers should vote.

This one, you cant get what I'm saying because you are biased. When Fanikayode lamented that APC may likely present Muslim/Muslim ticket for Presidency he wasn't dictating for APC. This is information age ignorance is a choice!

Isiri:


stop lying. xtianity started this religion card.

I'm sure you're not from the west.
Osun state had mostly Muslim governors and nobody raise an eyebrow. In Oyo state Christopher Akala seems to be the only non-muslim governor the state ever had, nobody raised an eyebrow. Muslim dominance in Alausa is visible to the blind and audible to the deaf, but we don't give a damn.

In the west you're Judged/Accepted on the basis of Omoluabi and not by religious sentiment. Prof. Ishaq has demonstrated over time that he is a bigot and not the conventional liberal Muslims we have in the west.

He should relocate to the NORTH as their is no place for religious intolerance and extremism in the west. The embers of division he is trying to blow will soon swallow him up.

As a result they should not be considered? I even doubt if you are a Christian because growing up, what I know Christianity to be is far from the personality you just displayed here.

OYINLOLA IS A CHRISTIAN, and he also had a Christian Deputy Governor, Princess Obada! You may accentuate your opinion without lying, please.

Ignorant you! Oyinlola is a Christian. Moreover, his tenure was when Osun witnessed a Christian Governor as well as a Christian deputy for the first time in the history of the state.

I guess this Akintola was alive back then during the Buhari/Idiagbon,Abiola/Babagana Kingibe era & in the present Buhari's government? Islamic fanatics like this are the problem of Nigeria.
He'll never be seen or heard contributing meaningfully to burning national issues.See as he look like BH terrorist.

pls how many times have fayose and ur lords-ffk and reno contributed meaningfully to the development of dis nation?

Sorry, it was a mistake, but that doesn't derail the fact that Prof. Ishaq's claim is unhealthy for our region.

Even without Muslim deputy, Fayemi will emerge the next Governor of Ekiti

lol you funny no be small. well you will post the results of the July 14 poll here. by next week Friday, we will enter the month of June.

Though I am a Muslim but I have no pity for Ishaq Akinola and his MURIC because he shows bias even among the Muslim Ummah. If you're not of the same idiology with him then he won't even look in your direction.

keep your dirty mouth shot. Instead of you to face the reality you are here saying rubbish. So fayose is christianising ekiti abi? A fool that always speak in against of pmb that he wanted to islamize nigeria is even doing worse in his own state. All political appointee were Christians and you don't want them to talk, you are part of the problems we are facing in this country.

if you don't know history just keep quiet. Bola ige is also a muslim abi? Kolapo ishola is a muslim too?

Just as Kwara and Osun states are Muslim dominated states and you hardly have people of other faith hold major positions, so also is Ekiti and Ondo dominated by Christians. The religion ratio in Oyo is like 55%Muslims, 30% Christians and others 15%.
You can dislike the person of Fayose,its allowed. But let not have religionas a criteria.
Whether Christian or Muslim leadership who go make am go make am. Na God hand e dey.

Y'all know Lagos Politics is dominated by Muslims they only share posts to fulfill all righteousness

Let Love reign, don't fan embers of discord.
Lets preach love and not hate.

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) is on the same page with the state branch of NACOMYO. We can see the fingers of the state governor, Ayodele Fayose in the pie being fried for the PDP’s gubernatorial candidate, Olusola. We have no iota of doubt that Fayose influenced the decision to pick a Muslim as deputy for Olusola for his own selfish reasons.





While we admit that it is a deft move, we wish to throw a caveat emptor. Ekiti Muslims should not repose their trust in Ayodele Fayose because of his antecedents. Fayose, a Muslim-hater, is bending all over to exploit Muslims. Having realized that his time is up and that his choice candidate has a very slim chance, Fayose is now courting Muslim votes to shore up his lapses.





Fayose wants to eat his cake and still have it. But what did he do with the Muslims during his tenure? How many Muslims did he appoint to political positions? MURIC cried out in September 2015 over Fayose’s all Christian cabinet. What does Fayose think he can still do for Muslims when he had a Christian Deputy Governor, a Christian speaker, a Christian Deputy Speaker, and a Christian Chief of Staff? What does he and his party want with Muslims now after ignoring our cries for four good years? It is too late. Clowning will not help. Wearing turban will not help either. The die is cast.



All the state’s judges under Fayose are Christians. All the fourteen (14) commissioners in the State are Christians. All the twenty six (26) permanent secretaries are Christians. Fayose only gave Muslims one Special adviser. Special adviser my foot!



He did not stop there. All the state’s 5-member boards are Christians including Only one Muslim is a board member in the whole of Ekiti. The 7-member boards of colleges of education and that of health technology are all Christians. All the sixteen (16) education secretaries are Christians while all the sixteen (16) local government caretaker chairmen are Christians except one.



Fayose deliberately impoverished Muslims. Even the Muslim deputy he has picked now is the only local government chairman in the state. So he is not new in Fayose’s administration. It is a dirty trick. Muslims in the state should ‘shine their eyes’ very well.



Those who say South West people are tolerant should borrow a leaf from this. It is the Muslims who are bearing the brunt. There is no religious tolerance in the South West. As individual Christians and Muslims, yes. We live together in the same houses and work together in the same workplaces. Christians and Muslims exist in the same families. We also intermarry. But as a body of Muslims, capital ‘NO’. Anything that will benefit South West Muslims or Islam as an institution is always fiercely resisted by South West Christians.



The only way to checkmate Fayose now is for the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to also pick a Muslim as his running mate. Muslims in the state know Fayemi very well. Unlike Fayose who is a Muslim-hater, Fayemi showed Muslims love when he was governor in the state. Fayemi’s wife, a very decent woman, is a practicing Muslim. It was Fayemi, a Christian governor, who made the bold move of issuing the circular which allowed female Muslim students in the state to use hijab. Fayemi is a liberal to the core.



MURIC wants Ekiti Muslims to know their true friends and to know those who want to deceive them. “Fool me once, shame on you. But fool me again, shame on me.” There goes the wise saying. We will not be enslaved twice. Was it not Fayose who went on mosque-demolition sprees? Is it so long ago? Who ordered the shutting down of your Arabic classes in Ado Ekiti?



Was it not the same Fayose who got power-drunk that he publicly lambasted our revered Shaykh Muhyideen the famous Ansarud-deen preacher? Can he do that to his pastor? What did his party do about his atrocities? Did they make any attempt to placate Muslims in the state? Fayose is a Muslim hater and Ekiti Muslims should not come near him with a long pole, particularly at this crucial period. Those who have ignored us and oppressed us all this while cannot, with any iota of sincerity, claim to be our friends in election period.



In the meantime we exhort all Muslims in Ekiti State to get their PVCs. We are not advocating religion as a criterion in voting. Vote for true democrats and cool-headed politicians. Vote for diligence. Vote for integrity. Avoid Fayose and other unpredictable politicians who have made life miserable for you in the past. Avoid those who demolish your mosques and those who closed your Arabic classes. It is pay back time and the exercise is just beginning. We can’t wait to see Fayose in Kirikiri. The evil that men do…

Biety:
The contents of this article is verry verry scary, it can breed hatred between the worshippers of both religions in SW.
People that know Ishaq Akintola or whoever wrote this divisive article should help us beg them not to plung SW into religion crisis because of mere political score and selfish interests.
Nobody should carry religion madness disrupt the peace we are enjoying in our region.
MURIC is just hiding under the banner of religion, it's a pure political organisation. CAN is also guilty of this since after the 2015 elections.
CAN or any Islamic organisation should stop interfering directly in political matters to avoid unnecesary suspicion as we are witnesing today.

Forget the nonsense that man is spewing; he's a man bereft of followership who's doing all he can - including identity politics- to get some few fools.

leave ishaq and face the reality is all what am saying. On a normal ground I don't always read or have a meaning to what he's saying. But this one is fact. How could fayose who always attack buari of islamizing the country appointed only Christians and treated muslim in such a manner be regarded as a reasonable person. He hates islam as a religion but he want a fair hearing for Christians the he's a joker.

How is he a problem? Or according to you, to call a spade a spade means problem now.
To be sincere, the facts brought out by the prof was hidden to so many people. Even you here attempting to castigate him was oblivious of these facts. You can call the prof anything, the facts remain exposed to a discerning mind see the right or the wrong.
It is now known to every unbiased mind that Fayose practices what he has been accusing mr president of; a case of kettle always hating pot because of it black color.

A confuse clerics man,
Ekiti know what is good for them.

same with Sokoto and Zamfara

During fayemi's tenure as a Governor, he demolished two mosque around post office to Sabo in the state capital and left a shrine untouched.
Prof,they are bed of the same feather .

Well Ekiti itself is primarily a Christian state, the man should respect that and not complicate things for Fayemi. It's just like trying to win elections in Lagos state and ignoring the Muslims, it won't happen.

it pain him
