The Archbishop of the Methodist Church Nigeria, Most Rev. Isaac Ayo Olawuyi, has called for a Muslim governor in Lagos come 2027.
According to the Archbishop, this would be a significant step towards promoting religious tolerance and inclusivity in the state.
Speaking at the Lagos House of Assembly’s 22nd Annual Thanksgiving Service, Archbishop Olawuyi noted that Christians have held the governor’s seat for 12 consecutive years.
He emphasised the need for unity and effective governance, stating that it’s time to give Muslim brothers a chance to govern the state.
“I also want to add that we have consideration for religious inclination in Lagos State. It would be 12 years in 2027 that we have been in the system together and we have been having Christians as governors.
“Now, it’s time to give our Muslim brothers a chance to govern us in Lagos State. We want to pray that when it’s time for the election, it would be a time for us to elect who will govern us in Lagos State effectively,” Archbishop was quoted as saying.
