‘He is a secret agent’ – Islamic group calls out Governor Adeleke

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has condemned Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke over the list of his commissioners, which consists of seven Muslims and 17 Christians.

In a statement on Monday, July 10, MURIC Executive Director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola, accused Governor Adeleke of religious partisanship, saying he must be a “secret agent” for the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).

MURIC condemned it and referred to the appointments as a “wanton blockage of privileges that should go to Muslims being diverted to over-pampered and over-fed Christians in the state”.

They also accused the governor of deceiving Muslims in the state and engaging in spiritual hide-and-seek.

“The goal of Adeleke’s deception is for the perpetuation of the marginalization, shortchanging and oppression of Muslims in Osun State. Adeleke is a secret agent of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).

“But it is for a while. Time will tell. Governor ‘James Bond’ and the few selfish Muslims whom he is using will soon see that honesty and openness are what makes enduring leadership,” Akintola said.
