The Islamic Organization, Muslim Rights Concern has berated Governor Ademola Adeleke over what it described as perpetual marginalisation of Muslims in the State.

MURIC Director, Professor Ishiaq Akintola in a statement on Monday alleged Adeleke of playing spiritual hide seek, stating that seven of 25 Commissioners-nominees being Muslims shows the Governor is discriminating against Muslim faithful.

The statement reads: “We condemn this wanton blockage of privileges that should go to Muslims.
“By deceiving Muslims in the state and engaging in spiritual hide and seek, Governor Adeleke has exhibited qualities short in honour and dignity but egregiously long in infamy and bohemianism.

“The goal of Adeleke’s deception is for the perpetuation of the marginalisation, shortchanging and oppression of Muslims in Osun state.

“Adeleke is a secret agent of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN. Like the legendary James Bond, aka 007 who had the licence to kill.

“For the avoidance of doubts, we are solidly for meritocracy but the latter does not reside in Christendom alone.

“Eminently qualified Muslims abound in large numbers for those who seek fairness and equity. Gone are those days when anyone can use wool to cover the eyes of Muslims.”
