Leaders of the Muslim community in Lagos on Wednesday staged a protest at the State House of Assembly on Wednesday to convey their objection to the recently announced list of 39 commissioner nominees sent by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to the Assembly.

They pointed out that the composition was unfair to practitioners of the Islamic faith within the state and demanded a thorough review of the list.

The Muslim community, led by president and elder statesman Prof. Tajudeen Gbadamosi who spoke in the premises of the House of Assembly during the protest said the governor’s list was nothing but wanton discrimination against Muslims in the state.

Gbadamosi who presented a formal petition to Speaker Mudashiru Obasa called for a thorough review of the list.

The protester brandished banners and placards adorned with inscriptions such as “Muslims Reject Official Discrimination,” “Fairness is All We Seek,” and “Halt the Screening Now, We Demand Justice.”

The Muslim Community in the petition submitted by President Prof. Gbadamosi expressed their grievances, saying they were deeply dissatisfied with the overt disregard for principles of justice, equity, and fairness in the proposed composition of the Lagos State Executive cabinet, as outlined in the list of commissioner nominees.

They pointed out that out of the 39 nominees, 31 were affiliated with the Christian faith while merely eight were of Muslim faith.

According to them, the composition violated specific sections of the Federal Republic of Nigeria’s Constitution, particularly citing Sections 14(4) and 192(2) that pertain to equity and representation.
