Muslims in the South-west have been urged to reject any governorship candidate who refuses to commit to the establishment of Sharia courts in their states.
This was the position of the Chief Imam of Lekki Central Mosque, Sheikh Dr Ridwan Jamiu, over the ongoing contentious issue of Sharia courts establishment in Yoruba land.
Dr. Jamiu, while delivering the Jumaat sermon last Friday at Lekki Central Mosque, said candidates need to be held accountable for their stance, especially on Shariah courts.
Calling on Muslims to carefully assess their political choices, the Chief Imam said, “Elections are coming, and any governorship candidate seeking your vote must be committed to establishing Shariah courts.”
According to him, establishing Shariah courts in the Southwest is a constitutional right, describing it as long overdue.
“It is time we assert our constitutional rights. Shariah courts in Southwest states are long overdue,” he added.
