Five Yoruba speaking Islamic leaders in Nigeria have boycotted a conference on the Oduduwa Republic organised by the Centre For Global Peace Initiative which involved Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams.

The religious leaders faulted their inclusion in what they described as secession talks being championed by some agitators in the South-West states.

Both the Center For global Peace Initiative and Centre for Policy intervention in Africa had scheduled  the   zoom conference  for Saturday, October 3,  tagged, the great October  conference  with the theme, “Yoruba Muslims Vs Oduduwa Republic: Clash of perspectives.”

The Islamic invited as panellists are; Director of Muslim Rights Concern, Prof.  Ishaq  Akintola; Chief Missionary, Ansar Ud Deen Society;   Sheikh AbdrRahman Ahmad;  Imam, University of Abuja, Prof. Taofiq AbdulAzeez; Dean, Faculty of Arts, University of Ibadan, Prof.  AbdulHafeez Oladosu and Mufti, Conference of Muslim Organisations; Sheikh Dhikrullah Shafi.

The organisers had invited the Adams as a keynote speaker while Prof. Yunusa Salami of the Department of Philosophy, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, was chosen as the lead presenter.

The religious leaders in a joint release, titled, “Re: Yoruba Muslims vs Oduduwa Republic: Clash of Perspectives: A Disclaimer,” dissociated from the conference which was later shifted.

They complained that the organizers failed to seek their consent before using their names for the programme.
