										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Muslim Ummah of South West Nigeria, MUSWEN, has expressed profound gratitude to Allah for the long and impactful life of Princess (Alhaja) Rafatu Ademinure Awofisayo, the Iya Adinni of Ifeland, who passed on at the age of 102.</p>
<p>The message over the death of the Iya Adinni, is contained in a statement by the president of MUSWEN, Alhaji Rasaki Oladejo, and the Executive Secretary, Prof. Wole Abbas.</p>
<p>The statement reads in part: &#8220;Mama&#8217;s passing marks the end of a glorious era. As a centenarian, last surviving child of last surviving child of 48th Alayeluwa Ademiluyi Ajagun and Iya Adinni of Ifeland, she was a beacon of faith, resilience, and service to the Ummah.</p>
<p>&#8220;Her title as the Iya Adinni of Ifeland was not merely honorary; it was a testament to her lifelong commitment to the propagation of Islam and the development of the Muslim community in the ancient city of Ile-Ife and across the South West region.</p>
<p>&#8220;Until her passing, she served as the Matron of the Federation of Muslim Women Association of Nigeria (FOMWAN), Ife Central Mosque, where she was a pillar of wisdom, guidance, and service.</p>
<p>&#8220;MUSWEN recognizes her immense contributions to Islamic education and her role in fostering religious harmony within her community. Her life served as a bridge between tradition and faith, demonstrating how royalty and religious devotion can coexist to uplift society.&#8221;</p>
<p>MUSWEN added that &#8220;Princess Awofisayo was a pillar of strength whose wisdom guided many. Her death is a loss to the entire Nigerian Muslim Ummah, but we take solace in the fact that she lived a life entirely dedicated to the service of Allah and humanity.</p>
<p>&#8220;The leadership of MUSWEN extends its heartfelt condolences to her family, the Ooni of Ife, the Muslim community of Ifeland, and the government and people of Osun State.</p>
<p>&#8220;We pray that Almighty Allah (SWT) grants her <em>Al-Jannah Firdaus </em>and gives her family the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Muslim Ummah of South West Nigeria, MUSWEN, the apex regional body for Muslims in the South West, has called on the faithful to sustain the spirit of devotion and righteousness beyond the holy month of Ramadan.</p>
<p>In a statement jointly signed by Alhaji Rasaki Oladejo, President and Professor Wole Abbas, Executive Secretary, to commemorate the <em>Eid-el-Fitr</em> celebrations, MUSWEN noted that the conclusion of fasting should not mark the end of the spiritual and moral transformation achieved during the sacred month.</p>
<p>It emphasized that the virtues of discipline, self-denial, generosity and intensified worship practised during Ramadan were intended to be a lifelong guide for every believer.</p>
<p>Reflecting on the current state of the nation, MUSWEN urged Muslims to continue offering special prayers for peace, security, and economic prosperity in Nigeria.</p>
<p>&#8220;As we celebrate this joyous occasion of <em>Eid-el-Fitr</em>, let us remember that the God we served during Ramadan is ever alive to reward our deeds throughout the year,&#8221; the Muslim group said.</p>
<p>MUSWEN concluded by praying that Almighty Allah accepts the fasting and prayers of the Ummah and grants the nation lasting stability.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Muslim Ummah of South West Nigeria, MUSWEN, has congratulated the Acting Inspector General of Police, Mr Olatunji Rilwan Disu, on his appointment and assumption of office.</p>
<p>This message is contained in a press statement issued on Monday by Alhaji Rasaki Oladejo, President and Professor Wole Abbas, Executive Secretary, MUSWEN.</p>
<p>The Muslim group said, &#8220;This elevation, approved by His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, is a testament to Disu&#8217;s decades of dedicated service, professionalism, and proven track record in various strategic roles within the Force, including his leadership in critical operations and commands.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We see in his appointment a fresh opportunity to strengthen internal security architecture and restore greater public confidence in the Nigeria Police Force at this pivotal time,&#8221; MUSWEN affirmed.</p>
<p>It added that &#8220;As the umbrella organisation for Muslims in the South West geopolitical zone, MUSWEN recognises the enormous challenges confronting our nation, particularly the persistent wave of insecurity manifesting in banditry, kidnapping, communal clashes, cultism, and other violent crimes that continue to threaten lives, property, and peaceful coexistence—especially in our region and across the country.&#8221;</p>
<p>The group said, &#8220;We therefore task the Acting IGP to prioritise the following key areas during his tenure: Intensifying community policing initiatives, fostering closer collaboration between security agencies and local communities, including faith-based organisations, traditional institutions, and youth groups, to build trust and enhance intelligence gathering at the grassroots level.</p>
<p>“Addressing rising insecurity in the South West, with particular attention to kidnapping along major highways, farmer-herder conflicts, urban violence, and emerging threats that undermine economic activities and social harmony in our states.</p>
<p>“Strengthening discipline, welfare, and capacity building within the Force to boost morale, reduce corruption, and equip officers with modern tools, training, and technology for effective, intelligence-led policing.</p>
<p>“Ensuring impartiality, professionalism, and respect for human rights in all operations, while upholding the rule of law and protecting the rights of all citizens irrespective of faith, ethnicity, or background.&#8221;</p>
<p>MUSWEN pledged its full support and cooperation to the Acting IGP and the Nigeria Police Force in the collective effort to secure lives and property.</p>
<p>It called on &#8220;all Muslims in the South West—and indeed all Nigerians—to rally behind the security agencies through credible information sharing, prayers, and active citizenship.&#8221;</p>
<p>It prayed that Allah (SWT) should grant Acting IGP Disu wisdom, good health, courage, and success in discharging his duties.</p>
<p>&#8220;May his leadership mark a turning point in the fight against insecurity and usher in an era of lasting peace, stability, and progress for our dear nation,&#8221; MUSWEN further supplicated.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Muslim Ummah of South West Nigeria, MUSWEN, has extended warm felicitations and heartfelt congratulations to the entire Muslim community in Nigeria and beyond.</p>
<p>The umbrella body representing Muslims across the six states of the South West geopolitical zone—Ekiti, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, and Oyo— in a press statement said &#8220;The sighting of the new moon has ushered in this sacred period of spiritual renewal, self-discipline, compassion, and intensified devotion to Allah (SWT). Ramadan offers every believer a profound opportunity to draw closer to our Creator through fasting, increased prayers, recitation of the Qur’an, charity (Zakat al-Fitr and Sadaqah), and acts of kindness toward fellow human beings.”</p>
<p>In the statement jointly signed by Alhaji Rasaki Oladejo, President and Professor Wole Abbas, Executive Secretary, the group said &#8220;In this holy month, MUSWEN calls on all Muslims in the South West and across the nation to remain steadfast in faith, uphold the highest standards of Taqwa (God-consciousness), and embody the true spirit of Ramadan. Let us fast not only from food and drink but also from vain talk, backbiting, anger, and all forms of negativity that distance us from Allah’s mercy.”</p>
<p>The group added that &#8220;Amid the challenges facing our nation and the global Ummah, MUSWEN emphasizes the critical importance of unity, brotherhood, and solidarity. Division weakens us; unity strengthens us. We must rise above ethnic, regional, or personal differences and stand together as one Ummah under the guidance of our revered leaders.&#8221;</p>
<p>MUSWEN urged all Muslims to observe the fast with sincerity and joy, seeking Allah’s forgiveness and blessings; intensify acts of worship, especially Taraweeh prayers and Tahajjud; show generosity to the less privileged, orphans, widows, and the needy in our communities and promote peace, tolerance, and mutual respect in our interactions with all Nigerians, regardless of faith.</p>
<p>It added that they should avoid rumours, discord, and anything that could sow confusion or disunity within the Ummah.</p>
<p>The Muslim organisation prayed that may Allah (SWT) accept “our fasts and prayers, forgive our shortcomings, grant us strength and good health throughout the month, and make Ramadan a source of barakah (blessings) for our families, communities, and nation. Ramadan Mubarak! Ramadan Kareem!&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Muslim Ummah of South West Nigeria, MUSWEN, has reaffirmed confidence in the leadership of the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, as the President General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, NSCIA.</p>
<p>MUSWEN stated this in a statement signed by Alhaji Rasaki Oladejo, President and Professor Wole Abbas, Executive Secretary.</p>
<p>The statement came against the backdrop of announcements by some individuals and groups regarding the commencement date of the 2026 Ramadan fast.</p>
<p>The announcement was made in disregard for the established and recognised process of moon sighting</p>
<p>under the leadership of the president of the NSCIA, to signal the commencement of the Ramadan fast.</p>
<p>Calling on Muslims in the South West, in particular and Nigeria, in general,  to shun disunity, MUSWEN urged them to &#8220;be wary of the antics of people who do not wish Islam and Muslims well.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Their agenda and design for Muslims in Nigeria, and indeed the world over, is &#8216;divide and conquer&#8217;. We must not fall into this trap,&#8221; said MUSWEN.</p>
<p>MUSWEN added that the watchword for Muslims in this circumstance must be the Quranic verse which says: &#8220;And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allah, and be not divided among yourselves; and remember Allah&#8217;s Favour on you, for you were enemies one to another but He joined your hearts together, so that, by His Grace, you became brethren&#8230;Surah Al &#8216;Imran (3:103).&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>President of Muslim Ummah of South West Nigeria, MUSWEN, Alhaji Rasaki Oladejo, has commended the Olowu of Owu and President-General of Ogun State Muslim Council, OGMC, Oba (Prof) Saka Adelola Matemilola for attending the General Purpose Committee, GPC, meeting of the organisation.</p>
<p>Oladejo gave the commendation in his remarks on Sunday at the GPC meeting of MUSWEN held at its secretariat in Ibadan, Oyo State capital.</p>
<p>He described the day’s meeting as a landmark, as it was the first of such attended by a President-General of Ogun State Muslim Council.</p>
<p>He recalled that the late Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona, could not attend any of the meetings throughout his tenure as President-General.</p>
<p>He, therefore, on behalf of all members thanked the Olowu of Owu and urged him not to relent.</p>
<p>Responding, Oba Matemilola commended MUSWEN for championing the cause of Muslims and Islam in the South-West, while pledging his continued support for the group.</p>
<p>The Ogun State Muslim Council under the leadership of the President-General, Oba Saka Adelola Matemilola used the opportunity of the GPC meeting to present gifts to the immediate past Executive Secretary of MUSWEN,  Prof. Muslih Tayo Yahya, on his recent retirement.</p>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The All Progressives Congress, APC, has said that the defection of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, in the 2023 presidential election, Mr Peter Obi, to the African Democratic Congress, ADC, has confirmed his return to the same political characters and structures he once publicly condemned.</p>
<p>The APC, in a statement issued on Wednesday by its Lagos State spokesman, Mr. Seye Oladejo, said Obi’s move had stripped him of the moral posture on which he built his political brand.</p>
<p>According to Oladejo, the Obi had openly embraced the very political ecosystem he repeatedly described as corrupt, criminal and unfit for national renewal.</p>
<p>“What Nigerians have witnessed is not political evolution but the confirmation of a pattern.</p>
<p>“Mr Obi has returned to his vomit, without remorse and without explanation, choosing convenience over conviction,” he said.</p>
<p>Oladejo said Obi’s formal entry into the ADC marked the public unveiling of what he called “a coalition of grievance and convenience,” rather than a movement driven by ideas or ideology.</p>
<p>The spokesman described the ADC as a platform where “rejected ambitions and serial aspirants converge,” adding that Obi’s defection merely validated that characterisation.</p>
<p>He added: “This is not a coalition of ideas; it is a cartel of convenience.</p>
<p>“It is not about Nigeria; it is about power without responsibility.”</p>
<p>Oladejo also accused Mr Obi of political inconsistency, noting that his history showed he was unlikely to contest elections consecutively on the same party platform.</p>
<p>He said: “Even a political neophyte could predict this outcome.</p>
<p>“This move confirms a long-standing pattern of political promiscuity masquerading as principle.”</p>
<p>Oladejo further expressed concern over what it described as the coalition’s silence on terrorism and violent extremism, saying such refusal to clearly condemn violence against Nigerians was “deliberate and dangerous.”</p>
<p>“Silence in the face of terror is not neutrality; it is complicity.</p>
<p>“Any group that cannot unequivocally denounce the killing of innocent Nigerians has forfeited the moral right to seek national leadership,” he said.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>President Bola Tinubu at the weekend assured Nigerians that his administration would continue to roll out several initiatives to support Nigerians as part of its broader economic recovery agenda.</p>
<p>The president delivered the message at the 10th General Assembly of the Muslim Ummah of South West Nigeria, MUSWEN, held at the Bola Babalakin Auditorium in Gbongan, Osun State.</p>
<p>Tinubu, represented by the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola, listed several measures, including financial support schemes, job creation programmes, palliatives, and policies introduced by his administration to encourage innovation and creativity.</p>
<p>He also emphasised the need for economic diversification, particularly through improved access to quality and functional education that aligns with the modern, technology-driven global economy.</p>
<p>According to the president, with discipline and focus, Nigeria can chart a new course toward prosperity.</p>
<p>Encouraging Nigerians to rise above current frustrations and leverage the “vast oasis of opportunities” available within the economy, the president said Nigerians must become agents of transformational change rather than succumb to despair.</p>
<p>“…We have introduced the National Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), N-Power reforms and skill acquisition, NANO grants, Conditional Cash Transfer ranging from ₦50,000 to ₦1,000,000, the upward review of NYSC monthly allowance from ₦30,000 to ₦70,000, minimum wage from ₦30,000 to ₦70,000, food security measures, and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG),” he said.</p>
<p>The president commended MUSWEN for creating a platform to discuss how Muslims can navigate and benefit from the administration’s reforms.</p>
<p>“There is the need to open economic frontiers; we have decided to prioritize functional and qualitative education,” he said.</p>
<p>Tinubu also urged Nigerians to view security as a shared responsibility, noting that improved safety is essential for attracting foreign investment and delivering good governance.</p>
<p>The Sultan of Sokoto and President-General, Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Alhaji Mohammed Sa’ad Abubakar, urged Nigerians to be united and not allow themselves to be divided by external forces.</p>
<p>The Sultan who condemned the killings by terrorists and bandits across the country, called on security agencies to deal decisively with criminals irrespective of their religion or tribe.</p>
<p>The Sultan said: “There have been a lot of talks about Genocide, but I’ve said it and I keep saying it, I’ve never seen it or heard of a Christian denied his right to worship.</p>
<p>“We are living in harmony and we are not going to allow anybody to come and break us. We should not judge anyone. What we can do is to try to be the best we can be.</p>
<p>“Those killing people are not Muslims but criminals and I want to urge the security operatives to apprehend and deal decisively with criminals irrespective of their religion or tribe.”</p>
<p>The Sultan, who urged Nigerians to pray for President Tinubu and other leaders to successfully discharge their responsibilities, also congratulated MUSWEN for being an umbrella body promoting unity and dialogue among muslims in the southwest and urged other zones to emulate them.</p>
<p>The Keynote speaker and Nasarawa State Governor, Engineer Abdullahi Sule, said the theme of the event, “Nigeria’s Economy: Any Hope for the Masses?” aligned with the federal and state governments&#8217; commitment to build a better country.</p>
<p>“President Bola Tinubu is bold and courageous to formulate sound economic policies, fiscal ingenuity, bold reforms implementation, strategic long-term plan, private sector partnership,” Sule said.</p>
<p>Listing the many innovative projects of his administration, including in developing a thriving economy around the state&#8217;s mining assets, Sule urged other state governments to build on their comparative advantages to deliver infrastructure, complete major projects and improve living standards.</p>
<p>He said the increased revenue allocation to states made it mandatory for state executives to improve the well being of their citizens.</p>
<p>“You can see the positive aspects of the renewed hope economic reforms from the prices of food items and inflation. Inflation went over 30 per cent but today, inflation is getting down to about 20 per cent and the target is to go through a one digit inflation figure.</p>
<p>“This is the direction that we are going. You will see the stabilisation of the FX and the price of petroleum products right now. All these are positive indicators that the reforms are working.</p>
<p>“I want to urge the Muslim Ummah to continue to work together, care for each other and do everything possible to support this government,” Sule said.</p>
<p>Governor of Osun State and host of the programme, Senator Ademola Adeleke, represented by the Commissioner for Information, Alhaji Kolapo Alimi, encouraged Nigerians to promote peace and religious harmony.</p>
<p>He appealed to clerics to avoid preaching violence or extremism and instead pray for political leaders to succeed.</p>
<p>He also called on security agencies to be proactive, saying activities of terrorists in Kwara State was a source of worry to the government.</p>
<p>Alimi also announced that all religious marriages conducted in Osun State had been given the back of the law.</p>
<p>Chairman of the MUSWEN Board of Trustees, Dr. Wale Babalakin, urged Muslims to uphold integrity and invest in education.</p>
<p>According to Babalakin, the government would need to invest about 50 per cent of its annual budget in education over the next 20 years for it to raise youth able to meet 21st-century job market needs.</p>
<p>The president of MUSWEN, Alhaji Rasaki Oladejo, said President Tinubu’s administration should be commended for its efforts at poverty reduction and improvement in primary healthcare delivery.</p>
<p>He, however, urged the federal government to spend more on roads, railways and housing.</p>
<p>He said, “Tinubu Administration has stabilized the Nigerian economy with the implementation of his bold but painful economic reforms which have attracted global investors. These include the removal of fuel subsidies, merging of the multiple exchange rates windows into a single market rate and implementation of new measures by the Monetary Authorities to strengthen corporate governance and stabilze the Naira.</p>
<p>“On a good note the federal government should be commended for its efforts at poverty reduction and improvement in primary healthcare delivery. Pensions for direct benefit recipients have been increased while the number on the National Health Insurance Program has increased dramatically to 60 million people. However, government still needs to spend more on roads, railways and housing.”</p>
<p>Oladejo also named Professor Wole Abass as the new Executive Secretary of MUSWEN, following the completion of Professor Muslih Yahya’s six-year tenure.</p>
<p>“The 11th General Assembly will be organized by MUSWEN headquarters and held in Ibadan next year,” Oladejo said.</p>
<p>During the event, 12 medical students across the six Southwest states were awarded scholarships under the Sultan Abubakar Female Medical Students Scholarship Scheme.</p>
<p>The MUSWEN president said the organisation planned to increase the Bursary Awards to 120 deserving students from the region in 2016, adding that the goal was to increase the figure to 600 annually.</p>
<p>Cheques for this year’s scholarship awards and the laptops were distributed by the Sultan, who was Special Guest of Honour at the event.</p>
<p>He was assisted by Alhaji Isiaka Gboyega Oyetola; Chairman Board of Trustees of MUSWEN, Dr. Abdul-Rauf ‘Wale Babalakin, and Deputy President I of MUSWEN, Alhaji Rafiu Adisa Ebiti, FCA.</p>
