the aegis of the Muslim Ummah of
Southwest Nigeria (MUSWEN), has denied
endorsing President Goodluck Jonathan for
the 2015 general election.
Spokesman of the orgnisation, Alhaji Femi
Abbas, in a statement on Monday said that a
media report quoting one Mallam Hakeem
Adelani of the South-West Muslim Council
that Muslims in the region were backing the
president’s re-election among other claims
was false.
“The quoted fake secretary was also
reported to have said that a mosque-to -
mosque campaign would soon commence in
the region to sensitize the Muslim Ummah
towards the clandestine political agenda of
some evil politicians who want to use the
name of Islam for their evil machinations”,
Abbas said.
He added: “MUSWEN is the main umbrella of
all the Muslim organizations in the
Southwest region and it does not have the
so-called ‘Muslim Council’ (of no particular
State) on its membership list. MUSWEN is
the only Muslim body authorized to speak for
the entire Muslims in the Southwest through
its Executive Secretary, Prof. Daud O.S. Noibi
or its media consultant, Alhaji Femi Abbas.
Any other person or persons claiming to be
speaking on behalf of the Southwest Muslims
can only be a fraudster using a Muslim name
to tarnish the image of Islam in the region”.
