The Muslim Youth Foundation of Southern Kaduna (MYFOSKA) has faulted Southern Kaduna Renewed Hope Movement (SKRHM), Southern Kaduna Peoples Union (SOKAPU), Southern Kaduna Leadership Council (SKLC), Southern Kaduna Youth and Students Forum (SKYSFOM) over alleged zonal marginalisation in political affairs both at the state and federal levels.
This was contained in a statement by National Secretary, MYFOSKA, Shuaib Abdallah and made available to the media in Kaduna yesterday.
According to the group, Muslims in Southern Kaduna are being marginalised despite pulling political support for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) since 2015, unlike other groups who, “in the realm of any competitive electoral contest always deploy religion and ethnicity as the exclusive tool for mobilisation”.
Abdullah said the aforementioned groups do not represent or speak for them, thereby dissociating itself from them.
According to Abdallah, the block votes of the Muslim Ummah have consistently contributed to the overwhelming electoral victory of the APC at least in the last 2015, 2019, and 2023 general elections respectively, thereby calling on the Federal and Kaduna State governments to ensure fair representation in governance and appointments among the heterogeneous population of Southern Kaduna.
