A group of Imams and Alfas in Ekiti State have on Tuesday
ordered Muslims to reject Sallah rams from Governor Ayodele Fayose, describing
the obnoxious deed as a deliberate aim at marginalizing Muslims in the state.
This disclosure was made known at a meeting of the Muslim
clerics held at Anser- Udeen Central Mosque Odo-Otu, Ado-Ekiti.
According to Daily
Post, the Imams said Muslims had almost zero slot in the
appointments of commissioners and other officials by the governor Fayose.
They regretted
that efforts to get the governor redress the lopsidedness were fruitless.
A statement
endorsed by the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affair (NSCIA) and
National Council of Muslim Youth Organisation (NACOMYO) resolved that no Muslim
in the State should collect rams and other food items if presented to them in
any form by the government.
The statement,
which was signed by the leaderships of the Imams and Alfa said, any Muslim that
collected such rams or food items under any guise had taken Haram (unlawful)
and that the punishment of the Almighty Allah awaited the person. (Quran 71
verse 28)
