The leadership of the Muslim community in Ondo State
have expressed their determination in playing a
prominent role in determining who becomes the next
governor of the State .
Member of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic
Affairs ( NSCIA) made the demand on Monday.
Addressing a press conference in Akure, the capital of
the state, the Chairman of NSCIA in the state, Iman
Habibullah Akinpelumi, said that with over 500, 000
eligible Muslim voters in the State they were ready to
give their full support to any party that would field a
Muslim as candidate or running mate .
He insisted that any party that produced a Christian-
Christian ticket would be rejected by Muslims, as they
would not compromise their present political height in
the State .
He lamented that the political gladiators in the state
had always denied Muslims juicy political posts not
because of incompetency but because of their religious
inclinations .
Also contributing to the demand , the Secretary General
of NSCIA in the State , Imam Abdulazeez Folayemi ,
maintained that all the political parties in the state had
Muslims that were aspirants jostling for the number
one position in the State .
The present Deputy Governor of the State, Lasisi
Oluboyo, as well as his predecessor Ali Olanusi are
Muslims.
Before the emergence of Mr Olanusi , Ondo State had ,
since 1999 , been led by Christian governors and
deputies .
