Sanwo-Olu not a true democrat – MURIC leader Akintola Published By: Paul Dada

The Executive Director of Muslim Rights Concern, Professor Ishaq Akintola, has accused the Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of not being a genuine democrat.
Akintola who was having a chat with P.M News, said although the Lagos State governor was not underperforming in office but he had been unfair to Muslims. Akintola maintained that Sanwo-Olu’s immediate predecessor, Akinwunmi Ambode did not treat Muslims in the state fairly, so, his group would not readily support the emergence of a Christian governor for Lagos in 2027.
He said: How many Muslim commissioners did they appoint? How many Christian commissioners did Ambode appoint? How many did Sanw-Olu appoint?

“Immediately, the Christians come on board they set an iron curtain between them and the Muslims, and they remove even the doors of their offices for the Christians to come in without knocking. If one of the G.Os of the churches is coming to Ikeja today at the Alausa secretariat, he doesn’t even give notice and he doesn’t park outside the gate. He doesn’t stay at the garage. He drives into the governor’s driveway and alights by the governor’s door. Not only that, the governor would come and meet him at the door by his car door because he is G.O. But if a chief imam wishes to meet the governor, getting an appointment would be a problem and he must have written a notice earlier”.
Adding, he said: “Do you think MURIC is so bigoted that it will ignore what the governor is doing. His good performance doesn’t mean he is fair. He is not a democrat, he is not a true Democrat. In a true democracy, you must involve all sectors. And what he is doing is a contravention of a section of the institution, I think, 41 or 42 that says all sectors of the states should be carried along in appointments. But Sanwo-Olu is focusing his appointments on Christians”
About why public office holders continue to perpetrate corruption, Akintola said:
“Don’t look for religion to look for the cause of corruption. When they go to the government they do not say they belong to any mosque or church. Nigerians don’t carry the religions into office. It is the system that has to be mended. When you catch a civil servant who has stolen government money, what do you do to him? You sentence him to two months imprisonment or three weeks imprisonment. When he comes back he continues to enjoy the money. If we have tough rules and the system allows the laws to be applied people would sit up”.
