2027: Ogun Muslims demand governorship slot, cites historical imbalance

The Muslim Advocacy Group in Ogun State has demanded that the governorship seat be zoned to a Muslim candidate in 2027, citing a persistent imbalance in the state's political leadership since its creation in 1976. Of the five democratically elected governors, only one has been a Muslim. The group emphasized that their demand is based on the principle of equity with competence, not tokenism. They warned that ignoring this legitimate call could lead to disaffection and undermine the state's spirit of unity.
