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.
