His Chief of Staff, the Secretary to the State Government and his spokesperson are all Muslims and powerful members of the administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBesides, the appointment of commissioners is not an exclusive duty of the governor, so many factors are considered in concluding, but so far, we believe the governor has done well and has not marginalised the Muslims in the state. Many appointments would still be done and more Muslims would be appointed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur advice is that more Muslims should be involved in politics rather than staying away from it under the guise that it is a dirty game.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The state\u2019s name was changed to \u2018State of Osun\u2019 in 2012 during the tenure of former Governor,
