Olubadan: Your programmes attempt to deprive Muslims right to worship – MURIC to committee

Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, has alleged that the programmes released by the Olubadan coronation committee is an attempt to deprive the Muslims the right to worship on Friday.

MURIC made the claims in a statement signed by its Executive Director, Professor Isiaq Akintola.

The statement was made available to DAILY POST on Saturday.

The Olubadan coronation committee had released a list of programmes for the coronation of the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja, slated for Friday, 26th September, 2025.

MURIC has, however, alleged that the coronation programme coincided with the Jummat prayer of Friday.

Akintola, in the statement, claimed that the programme was designed to deprive the Muslims the right to worship on Friday.

He advised the committee to rescind its decision.

“Although the programmes billed for the first four days of the coronation ceremony are in order, we find the total alienation of the Friday Jumu’ah prayer from the Friday programmes repulsive, provocative, insensitive and therefore unacceptable. This programme strangulates the Muslim Friday prayer.

“Consequently, we call on the planning committee to respect the sensitivity of Oyo State Muslims in particular and the Nigerian Muslim community in general, by reviewing the programme for that day.

“It should be noted that guests from far and near are being expected at this monumental occasion, including Muslim leaders. They should not go away with the impression that Friday prayer is not recognized by the Oyo State government”.

You’re lagging behind, take voter registration seriously – El-Rufai appeals to Igbos (VIDEO)

Former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai has appealed to the people of South East part of the country to take the continuous voter registration exercise very seriously.

El-Rufai stated this on Saturday at an event in Imo State.

The former governor specifically appealed to Igbo mothers and daughters to take voter registration seriously, saying that south-east is lagging behind in ongoing CVR exercise.

He said: “Because the governance of our country today is democratic, we elect our leaders – we don’t select them, we don’t appoint them. So Voting is important. Registering to vote is a civic duty. This is not a political imperative. It is a civil duty, which, as a citizen, you must take advantage of.

“Looking at the numbers of the continuous voter registry in Nigeria in the last two weeks, the South East, including Imo State, of course, are lagging behind the rest of Nigeria.

“I want to appeal to you, our mothers, our sisters, our daughters that are in this room, please take this up and get our children that are 16 years and above, who will be 18 years in two years, and ready to vote. So please go out and register to vote. It is very important.”
