LAGOS—Chief Imam of Lekki Central Mosque, Sheikh Ridwan Jamiu, has called on Muslims to reject any governorship candidate who refuses to commit to establishing Shariah courts in the state.

While delivering the Jumaat sermon at Lekki Central Mosque last Friday, Dr Jamiu emphasized the importance of holding candidates able for their stance on Shariah courts. “Elections are coming, and any governorship candidate seeking your vote must be committed to establishing Shariah courts.

“It is time we assert our constitutional rights. Shariah courts in the Southwest states are long overdue."

The Imam highlighted that the Nigerian Constitution recognizes Shariah citing sections 38 and 40, which guarantee freedom of religion and association, respectively.

Dr. Jamiu also addressed concerns about Shariah s, stating that they serve as Alternative Disputes Resolution (ADR) mechanisms. “Section 177 allows any state to establish Shariah courts, which will adjudicate on marriage, divorce, custody of children, property law, inheritance, wills, and other civil matters,” he explained.

The Imam emphasized that Shariah courts are essential in Yoruba land and should be established in all Southwest states. “We have Shariah courts in the North, and it has not caused any harm to non-Muslims. It is not the business of non-Muslims; it is meant for Muslims alone,” he said.

Dr. Jamiu added: “It is time we assert our constitutional rights. Shariah court in the South west states is long overdue. Any candidate who refuses to commit himself into establishing a sharia court in your state, don’t vote for him.

By the grace of God, he will be alive when religion shall be banned from the public space and we return to the gentleman God that existed before religion

Mad people

Foolish man

Shariah law won't be allowed in the south west, you can do your worst wyere

What a wasted semen

Sharia is here to stay in south west, kiss the truth

Shariah will make their woman unproductive and their children Beggars..using. Arabic laws to solve our problem is not going to work

Hypocritically oriented religion.

Always hating the rest while it gets nothing to offer the general population. Religion of inferiors of the world

No wonder Israel views them as humanity errors.

Sharia is for Jungle Animals.

North West is a good example, y'all gonna learn the hard way. I can when my maternal relatives were celebrating Boko Haram circa 2007-2008 before their uprising. We All know how it ended

He should be sacked from that mosque like the apo iman

Hellnius come & see

The deceit, lies you & your cohorts sold to the North with MU-MU ticket has been exposed

You are rejecting sharia s but standing on a rotten manhood for MU-MU ticket.

The time is here for all you liars & deceitful creatures to come prove how MU-MU you are

You cannot insult YESHUA and remain sensible again.

Now who are those pushing a religious war? Is it PO or the north or the SW?? Islam is not a religion but a hate group & a death cult.

When my Igbo brothers assume that nothern muslims are trying to radicalize Yoruba muslims I just laugh.

What you Igbos don't know is that Yoruba muslims are the worst set of muslims. The only difference between a northern radical muslim and a yoruba muslim is that northern extremist are people of low IQ and so cover up it up with insane violence, while yoruba muslims just "look" less radicalized because they have the opportunity to relate with Christians a lot more than the former. The relationship of yoruba muslims with their Christian neighbours or family member have shaped their actions and reactions. Such privilege, the northern muslims never had.


But give a yoruba muslim the opportunity to be a true muslim and see a worse version of boko haram.

The chief imam

Is mad

Sharia law kill him there

We don’t want that nonsense in the SW na by force

Tell us the positive impact sharia court has on the north


If the Muslim have sharia court then the Christian can also have a Christian court and same goes to the traditionalist

I truly believe that one day, this country will spilt either peacefully or through violent. So that in your country, you won't force your archaic and demonic beliefs and lifestyles on others

“We have Shariah courts in the North, and it has not caused any harm to non-Muslims. It is not the business of non-Muslims; it is meant for Muslims alone,”

Imam dey play If it is possible for the North to roll back the hand of time on sharia,the reverse won't take a second.

Is Mr. imam aware that those against Shariah courts in the South West are his fellow Yorubas including many Yoruba Muslims.

If you think you can bully your way to getting Sahriah laws in the South West, you’re joking. The religion status in South West as opposed to the North is balanced.

Shariah cannot work effectively where majority are not Muslims. That’s the ruling binding Shariah. You can use shariah law in your family if you wish, but can’t force it on non Muslims.

Una dey mad

Sharia has always been part of the Islamic Religion in Yoruba Land. Even the Yoruba Language borrowed it's transliteration as in" E da Sheria fun un" meaning " Deal with offender in Sharia way. Where a person is to served punishment. The current noise on the creation of Sharia Courts in Yorubaland is the handiwork of certain political jobbers and from the North with their southern accomplices for political and selfish motives. Like Gen.Obasanjo said he replied Yerima during his tenure," if it's the religious Sharia , it will stay; but if it's the political Sharia it will not last.
If you have nothing to do with Sharia, why can't you stay off the topic, were you affected in anyway? You are not a Muslim and nobody is forcing Sharia on you. Sharia is only for the Muslims and not just for the Muslims, except those that are interested in it.

You see Islam... Very terrible set of reprobates

They will soon start bombing everywhere

Give them an inch, they must take a mile.

The only solution is not to give them an inch..

Just give them wotowoto in a Jewish way

That's the only language they understand better

So that they will go and meet their satanic prophet and their imaginary jezebel virgins

Is Nigeria not a secular state?

Werey. You're assuming your useless votes count?

Then he doesn't know how politics in South west works. He thought he is talking to Ilorin fanatics. Politics in SW is very dynamic when it comes to religion. If they start what they used to do in unilorin in those days in SW, they will regret woefully. Xtain brothers showed them banza sege those days while trying to impose fanatics SUG presidents on the campus year in year out. They never saw the unity coming. Same awaits those who will try that nonsense during election period. Besides, most of all these hungry people always use something like this Sharia projections to get grant and from those islamic countries. So many of them are fighting for their pockets and they see all these oppositions as a barrier. So it's understandable. SW is not NW. They should do whatever they wanted to do there not in the SW. Period.

Religion of terriost

Fanatic idiots like this one should be arrested for incitement

Hehehe! MURIC apostles still heady. They foisted muslim muslim ticket and told the world it was the best for Nigeria. Now they are to vote out Muslims that opposed Sharia including Christians. Islam? God is really wonderful. Let's see where this shit leads this nation

Like we care in the South West.

Two things may happen to this man.
1. Hunger will reset his brain.
2. He will be removed.

He wrongly things that Lagos is Zamfara. He, maybe, seed Lekki as one small village in Sokoto.

The states that adhere to the Sharia laws, how productive are the states?

Mad peoplev everywhere, so only Muslims vote now?
