The Muslim Political Awareness Front, MUPAF, has expressed concerns over the absence of Muslim governors in the entire southern region of Nigeria.

The Muslim group disclosed that “it is no more news that there is no Muslim governor in the entire southern Nigeria as we speak.

The organisation made this disclosure during a stakeholders’ conference held in Osogbo on 3rd of May 2025.

Speaking at the event, the National Coordinator of MUPAF, Alhaji Lukman Obembe, called on all political parties in Osun State and beyond to prioritise the emergence of Muslim candidates in the lead-up to the 2026 governorship elections.

Obembe stated that the gathering was convened to deliberate on the current political climate, governance issues, and party ticket allocations ahead of the 2026 elections.

According to him, “We are here today to engage in dialogue that will shape the future of political participation among Muslims in Osun and the entire southwest region,” he said.

Obembe highlighted MUPAF’s growth and influence in the last eight years, noting its activities across the southwest and Kwara State.

“MUPAF has remained at the forefront of political awareness among Muslims. We encourage our people to not only support but also present themselves as candidates for elective offices,” he added.

“Muslims must rise and use our population to regain lost ground.”

He further criticised the allocation of public resources, appointments, and employment opportunities in Osun and other southwest states.

“Despite Muslims forming about 67 percent of the population in Osun, there has been no equitable distribution of public wealth,” Obembe stated.

“This imbalance is evident in states like Oyo, Lagos, and Ogun as well.”

MUPAF urged political parties to consider Muslim candidates during their upcoming primaries.

“We are ready to throw our weight behind any political party that presents a Muslim flag bearer for the 2026 governorship election in Osun,” Obembe announced.

The group also referenced its recent constituency tour across Osun State, during which it engaged Muslim stakeholders and community leaders.

Obembe noted the involvement of various coordinators at senatorial, local government, and ward levels, which he said reflects MUPAF’s organisational strength and commitment.

As part of its 2026 electoral strategy, MUPAF revealed plans to scrutinise all Muslim candidates presented by political parties.

“We will not support any candidate who merely bears a Muslim name. Only those who demonstrate true Islamic values will receive our endorsement,” said Obembe.

He defined a true Muslim leader as one who manages public resources equitably and upholds justice in governance.

“A true Muslim must not be biased in sharing what Allah has entrusted him with. Leadership must reflect the demographic and religious realities of our state,” he explained.

Obembe stressed that the group has no political allegiance to any party or individual but remains committed to supporting viable Muslim candidates across the southwest and Kwara State.

“We are prepared to contribute physically, spiritually, and financially to ensure the emergence of credible Muslim leaders,” he affirmed.

He concluded the speech with a prayer, seeking divine guidance and protection as MUPAF intensifies its campaign.

“We pray to Allah to spare our lives for the progress of Islam beyond 2026. Ameen!” said Obembe.

The event was attended by MUPAF’s national and state leadership, along with various coordinators and members of the press.
