Muslim community under the auspices of the Association of League of Imams and Alfas in Ondo State, have threatened to drag the state governor, Rotimi Akeredolu to court if he fails to rescind the decision to return schools to Faith-Based Organizations (FBOs).Recall, that Akeredolu recently returned two Secondary and two primary schools to their original owners in the state.
The schools include Saint Thomas Aquinas College, Saint Louis Girls Grammar School, Akure and two primary schools.Addressing newsmen in Akure, the Chairman, the League of Imam and Alfas, Sheikh Ahmad Aladesawe described the state government’s step as barbaric, unprogressive and posing serious danger to the development of education in the state.
Aladesawe who was represented by the secretary of the league and Chief Imam of Supare Akoko, Alhaji Abdulrasheed Akerele, alleged that the steps were aimed at giving out public property to empower some individuals in the Faith-Based Organizations (FBOs).The cleric alleged that such action would also deny Muslim children from going to such schools.
He, however, threatened that the Muslims Community would seek legal action if the state government failed to rescind the decision.
