Oladejo Azeez Onimalu, at his residence, in Egbeda, Ibadan, Oyo State capital.<\/p>\n<p>The Islamic cleric also noted the agreement reportedly involved religious leaders supporting Governor Seyi Makinde\u2019s second-term bid in 2023 in exchange for an understanding that a popular Muslim candidate acceptable to both faiths would be supported for the governorship in 2027.<\/p>\n<p>The Aare Musulumi of Yorubaland, Edo and Delta States described Senator Alli\u2019s emergence as the APC governorship candidate as divinely ordained.<\/p>\n<p>He insisted that the Federal lawmaker had received the endorsement of Muslims and Christians in the state.<\/p>\n<p>Akinola urged residents to support Alli, expressing confidence that the understanding reached by the religious leaders would be respected.<\/p>\n<p>He also commended Onimalu for his contributions to the growth of Islam and his philanthropic activities, saying his humanitarian efforts would not go unnoticed.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, in his welcome address, Onimalu said his foundation planned to empower at least 10,000 people, particularly unemployed graduates and widows, to cushion the effects of the prevailing economic hardship.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the initiative was aimed at helping beneficiaries become financially independent and reducing their dependence on relatives and acquaintances for survival.<\/p>\n<p>The Asiwaju Musulumi also declared support for Alli\u2019s governorship ambition, describing his victory in the 2027 election as assured.<\/p>\n<p>The Muslim leader maintained that the reported understanding between Christian and Muslim leaders, in Oyo State, was binding.<\/p>\n<p>He urged the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and other Christian organisations said to have participated in the agreement to honour their commitment.<\/p>\n<p>Onimalu consequently, called on residents to rally behind Alli and vote for him in the February 2027 governorship election.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>*Dahud Makanjuola Akinola, Aare Musulumi of Yorubaland, Edo and Delta States, supports
