Ogun state League of Imams and Alfas have emulated the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) by establishing a ‘political directorate’ in an effort support Muslim candidates ahead of the 2023 elections.
The League launched the political unit known as Directorate of Good Governance in Abeokuta recently and said the unit would work with every Muslim candidate to ensure they emerge victorious at the polls.
While inaugurating the directorate, Sheikh Tajudeen Adewunmi, the Secretary-General of the League of Imams, said the clerics decided to come together out of the realization that good governance could be achieved through the establishment of the directorate.
Adewunmi was represented by Chief Imam of Ansarud-deen Society, Ilaro, Sheikh Adegbite Badmus.
He said: “the directorate was created to guide members who are into politics.”
“All the Imams and Alfas in the state have unanimously agreed on the creation of the directorate to take care of the political interests of their members in Ogun.
“Nobody listens to us, we need a listener within the government. We need a sympathizer within the government, we also need a voice in the government because after the power of Allah, the next power is political power.
“We want to be part of the problem and success of our brothers who are into politics. We want to pray for them, we want to guide them and bless them.”
