2015: “No hijab, no voting”- Lagos Muslims insist

Muslims in Lagos State say there is no going
back on their demand for the use of hijab in
schools.
Speaking under the auspices of Muslim groups at
a Press Conference on Wednesday in Lagos, they
said their votes would be determined by the
candidate’s stand on hijab.
According to the groups, “The slogan of Muslims
for Lagos 2015 is ‘No Hijab, No Vote’. Hijab here
is a symbol of respect for the way of life of
Muslims and a commitment by politicians to
accept the legitimate demands of Muslims.
“These demands will be tabled before candidates
when they meet leaders of Islamic organizations.
“Let us reiterate that no secret meeting with any
individual leader, no matter how credible, will be
acceptable to Lagos Muslims. Individual leaders
of Islamic organizations are therefore given the
caveat in this regard- do not meet any political
candidate alone on behalf of Lagos Muslims. A
word is enough for the wise”.
