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.”

Gov Adeleke appoints Osun puff-puff vendor as govt house chef

Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has appointed Oluwatosin Adejumo, a street puff-puff seller, as a chef in the Government House, Osogbo.

The governor made the announcement yesterday through his official X handle, describing Adejumo as “the puff-puff seller turned Government House chef.”

Adejumo, who holds a Nigerian Certificate in Education, NCE, and has professional catering training, came to Adeleke’s attention during a recent labour rally in Osogbo, where organised labour groups pledged support for his administration and endorsed his bid for a second term.

The governor explained that the appointment was in fulfillment of a promise he made after meeting Adejumo at the rally.

“A few days ago, I met Ms. Oluwatosin Adejumo during the rally where organised labour, in collaboration with other unions, endorsed the work we are doing and declared support for my re-election,” Adeleke wrote.

“Today, I fulfilled that promise by officially presenting her appointment letter as one of our Government House chefs. Beyond this employment, I have also granted her a scholarship up to the Master’s level, should she decide to further her education.

“Her story is a powerful reminder that hard work and dedication never go unnoticed. My administration remains committed to identifying, recognising, and uplifting excellence wherever we find it.”

A video shared on the governor’s page showed the moment Adeleke purchased Adejumo’s entire tray of puff-puff for ₦50,000 during the rally, before instructing aides to collect her details. The footage also captured a brief conversation where Adejumo disclosed her catering experience, which eventually earned her the new role.

Sanwo-Olu to host victorious team Lagos after National Youth Games win

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has pledged to host members of Team Lagos following their emphatic victory at the 9th National Youth Games held in Asaba, Delta State.

Even before the official closing ceremony on Saturday, Team Lagos had already secured the top spot on the medals table, outshining host state Delta and third-placed Edo.

In a virtual meeting with the athletes and their officials, held from the SpringHill Hotel in Asaba, Governor Sanwo-Olu expressed his pride and gratitude to the young champions, their coaches, and the Lagos State Sports Commission.

“We are very proud of you for winning the National Youth Games. I am excited that Lagos is demonstrating once again that we are the best in Nigerian sports. In the next one or two weeks, we will all gather at the State House to celebrate this remarkable achievement and share dinner together” Sanwo Olu said.

The Governor also commended the parents of the athletes for supporting their children’s participation and encouraged the youngsters to uphold discipline as they progress to U-17 and national teams.

He praised the Director-General of the Lagos State Sports Commission, Lekan Fatodu, for his leadership and commitment to grassroots sports development.

The athletes responded with loud cheers of “Eko, Eko, Eko,” echoing their pride in representing the state.

In his remarks, Fatodu applauded Governor Sanwo-Olu for his support, noting that Lagos had reclaimed its place as the number one sporting state in Nigeria.

“There is no better way to thank you than this historic victory. For the first time in years, Lagos is back at the top of Nigerian sports. We are also proud that Lagos fielded athletes who were true to the age categories. A Lagos schoolboy defeated his ‘senior’ competitors to win the 200m title, while our U-15 girls claimed gold in football. This is only the beginning,” Fatodu said.

By Friday evening, Team Lagos had amassed a commanding lead on the medals table with 82 medals, 40 gold, 25 silver, and 17 bronze. Delta State followed with 30 gold, 32 silver, and 30 bronze, while Edo finished third with 30 gold, 12 silver, and 20 bronze.
