LG Funds: Muslim stakeholders blame Adeleke, fault involvement of clerics in dispute

By Tunde Olamilekan

The Concerned Muslim Stakeholders and League of Alfas in Osun State have condemned the needless involvement of pressure groups, royal fathers, and religious leaders in the ongoing tussle over local government allocations in the state.

In a statement jointly issued by Sheikh Khozeem AbdulRaham, President, and Mallam AbdulGaniyy Sahid Esra, Secretary General, on Tuesday, the group said Governor Ademola Adeleke should be held responsible for the ongoing crisis in the state’s local government administration.

The group noted that the League of Imams and Alfas, Osun State Chapter, calling on President Bola Tinubu to order the release of the state’s allocations, was misleading.

It added that “the release by the League of Imams and Alfas led by Alhaji Imam Musa Animasahun is not only false, misleading, unfair, illegal, unlawful but also a product of failure to ground an investigation before taking a position”.

The group advised traditional rulers in the state to conduct thorough findings before making public statements, in order to “make a balanced position and thereby avoid public embarrassment”.

“Governor Adeleke was advised to dissociate itself from all the misleading information being peddled around on the matter or risk being seen as governing the state with deceits, dishonesties, falsities, misleading and cheap propaganda.”
