MURIC asks Ayedatiwa to appoint Muslim as deputy

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has called on Ondo State Governor, Lucky Ayedatiwa, to heed the call for a Muslim deputy governor in the state.

MURIC Executive Director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola, made the call on Sunday in a statement.

Akinola said: “The office of deputy governor has been vacant since the assumption of office of Governor Lucky Ayedatiwa. As a multi-religious state with a large Muslim population, the new governor will be injecting a heavy dose of interfaith tolerance and inclusivity by picking a Muslim as his deputy.
