The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has accused Governor Seyi Makinde of assisting Oyo State school officials who force Muslim students and teachers to sing Christmas carols.
The group cited the example of St Annes schools in Molete, Ibadan, whose principals forced Muslim students and teachers to join in singing Christmas carols on Monday, December 12th, 2022.
The action was condemned by MURIC as extremist, feudalistic, and provocative.
Professor Ishaq Akintola, the director of MURIC, stated in a statement issued on Monday, December 12th, 2022:
“Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has emboldened school authorities in Oyo State to force Muslim students and Muslim teachers to sing Christmas carol. This became clear today, Monday, 12th December, 2022 when St. Annes School 1 Senior, St. Annes School 2 and St. Annes Junior School forced Muslim students and Muslim teachers in the schools to join Christians to sing Christmas carol inside a church situated opposite the school.
