Tinubu tells Sharia Council to emulate RCCG, create political department

An All Progressives Congress leader and presidential hopeful, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has called on the Sharia Council to create political departments to promote Muslims in politics.
Tinubu’s advice came a few days after the Redeemed Christian Church of God created such a department.
Mr Tinubu, who was represented by Tunde Badmus, the Asiwaju Musulumi of Yorubaland, made this call at the Annual National Conference and Pre-Ramadan meeting of the Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria (SCSN), held at GMT hotel, Osogbo, Osun state.
“Other religious groups have commenced political sensitisation by creating political departments or directorate among themselves to promote their own,” Mr Tinubu said.
“You should create a political wing among yourself so that it will further gear your participation in politics. It will be a good platform to support your brothers who are vying for political positions,” Tinubu said.
