I’ll be Answerable to God if I keep quiet About Makinde’s Support for Islam – Oloso

A renowned Islamic scholar, Professor Kamil Koyejo Oloso, has said that he will be answerable to God if he fails to speak aboutthe goodness of Governor ‘Seyi Makinde of Oyo State to Muslims in the state.

Oloso, who is the Wakil Mumini of Oyo State, said in an interview that no past administration in the state had been as supportive of Muslims and Islam as Makinde’s administrationhas been.

He added that all the injustices experienced by Oyo State Muslims in the past had been corrected by Governor Makinde.

According to Oloso, a Professor of Islamic Studies, the Muslim Community at the beginning had fears that Makinde might not be fair to Muslims, being a Christian. He, however, noted that the doubts dissipated at the first meeting the body had with the governor.

He said, “We were worried that being a Christian, he might want to marginalize the Muslim Community in the state. But when we met with him, he assured us that he would be fair to all. And he has been fair to the Muslim Community in the state.”
