Politicians from Kwara State have been warned not to use hijab and schools’ ownership issues to glorify themselves unnecessarily but rather say the truth and stand firm by the rule of law.
The Muslim Stakeholders’ of Kwara State made this declaration while condemning the statement credited to the Former Minister of Youth and Sports Mr. Bolaji Abdullahi on hijab issue in the State.
In a statement released in Ilorin the Chairman of Muslim Stakeholders’ Alhaji. Ishaq Abdulkarim pointed out that if the previous administrations of Bukola Saraki and Abdul-Fattah Ahmed had addressed the problems it would not linger till now.
It advised those in position of authority to be factual, instead of using any ugly situation to attempt to build good image for themselves in wrongful manner.
On closure of the Schools, Alhaji Abdulkarim said no responsible Government would not shut the schools where Plaintiff that lost its cases in two superior courts of record abandoned the due process of proceeding on appeal to Supreme Court but threatened lawlessness.
While commending the Kwara State Government for closing the affected Schools temporarily to protect lives and property, Alh. Abdulkarim described Bolaji Abdullahi’s statement as reckless and unbecoming of a patriotic Nigerian who must always stand by the rule of law protection of innocent lives and property.
The Kwara Muslim Stakeholders who commended non-muslims who have commented objectively on the matter inspite of their religious differences, urged the State Government not to delay re-opening of the Ten Public Schools closed in the wake of the crisis, so that educational activities could continue.
Right to Religion is an integral part of fundamental human Rights as enshrined in the Constitution therefore no individual irrespective of it’s social status is allowed to say anything contrary to this for whatever reason.God bless Nigeria
