The Osun State government has charged Muslim Rights Organisation (MURIC) not to use religion to cause division in the State, affirming that Governor Ademola Adeleke’s appointments of commissioners and permanent secretaries are based on merit and competency.
In a statement, the State government noted that ever since assuming office, Governor Adeleke has premised his governance decisions on competency and commitment to State duty of appointees in his avowed commitment to deliver on good governance and correct inherited ills from previous administration.
The Governor’s first appointees in government were appointed not by religion but merit, competency and conformation with his style of leadership, stressing that same principle of meritocracy which produced the nominated commissioners was applied in the appointments of permanent secretaries who are accounting officers of the ministries.
The statement notes that no agent of destabilization masquerading as a religious body can deploy religion as a partisan tool to divide and distract governance.
The statement added that Osun State is an enlightened society with deep records of religious harmony and close understanding of the Governor as a leader who has never pander to religious bigotry, ethnic partisanship and unmerited decision making.
