2027: We’ll not support non-Muslim guber candidate – Lagos Muslims
The Muslim Community of Lagos State (MCLS) has expressed deep concern over what it described as the marginalisation of Muslims in political appointments and governance within the state, vowing not to support any political party that presents a non-Muslim for governor in the next general election.
At its maiden General Assembly held last Saturday at the Lagos State Secretariat Mosque Hall, Alausa, Ikeja, the group lamented the exclusion of Muslims in key sectors, particularly education, and called for the recruitment of Arabic and Islamic Studies teachers in public schools.
In a strongly worded resolution, the Assembly declared that Muslims would not support any political party that fields a non-Muslim candidate in the 2027 governorship election.
“We cannot continue to be sidelined in our own state. The Muslim community will only support a candidate who represents our values and interests,” the communique stated.
