Hijrah 1439: Osun Muslims Call For Surgical Operation In Judiciary, Legislatives

Osun State Muslim Community (OSMC), has called for urgent and immediate surgical operation in both the judiciary and legislatives for effective war against corruption.

The 1st Vice President of OSMC, Alhaji Mustafa Olawuyi, gave the call at a press conference, heralding the 1439 Hijrah celebration at the Muslim community’s’ secretariat, Osogbo.

He called on Nigerians to emulate the tolerance, preached and exemplified by Prophet Muhammad during his life time.

Commending President Muhammadu Buhari on the initiatives of NPower volunteers programme, Olawuyi advised the federal government to look for better way of reducing unemployment.

He disclosed that prominent scholars have been scheduled to discuss on “Islamic Ruling on Kidnapping and Ritual Killings”, on Thursday, while the grand finale would hold at Osogbo City Stadium on Sunday.

“The president is trying, but something drastic need to be done. The NPower is good, but it is mere dashing out money to the people because government have not sit down to discuss what is actually need to be done.

Speaking on the efforts of the federal government to reduce corruption, Olawuyi said, “if workers are not collecting their salaries at the right time and we see people spending lavishly, then, government needs to seat tight, arrest those that needs to be arrested and kill those that needs to be killed.

“There must be political will to clean the judiciary and the legislatives. There is need for surgical operation in both the judiciary and the legislatives.

“If those that claimed to be making laws are buying a car that is more than N200 million and nothing is being done, they go to court and cases are being delayed, government need to do something very drastic.

Enumirating some of the activities line up for this year Hijrah celebrations, Olawuyi said there will be Quran competition on Tuesday September 19, where the best memorisers of the Holy Quran will be selected for the grand finale while a discussion programme “Colloquium” will take place where discussants will do justice to the title “ISLAMIC RULING ON KIDNAPPING AND RITUAL KILLINGS the following day.

“On Friday 22nd September 2017 All Jumah Mosques in Osun State will be offering special Khutubah (sermon) on the significance of Hijrah and also prayer for Osun State and the Nation at large.
