The state chapter of Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI) has frowned at alleged shortchange of Muslims in the list of beneficiaries of Sen. Remo Tinubu’s N500 million palliative for victims of Plateau crises.
The JNI in a letter signed by the State Secretary of JNI, Dr. Salim Musa Umar, alleged the Muslims were sidelined from the list of beneficiaries, just as they they were not invited to welcome the First Lady, Remi Tinubu to the state.
“We leant that the First Lady and wife of the President Senator Remi Tinubu visited Jos yesterday and was hosted by your humble self.
“That her visit was to sympathize with victims of the recent unfortunate crisis in Mangu, Bokkos, Barkin Ladi, Jos South and Riyom local government areas,” it said.
The JNI said it was saddening that as critical stakeholders in the peace process in the state they were not even invited.
“We also note that the JNI had no input in the list of 500 victims of the crisis despite the fact that we have hundreds of Muslims killed, maimed or displaced as a result of those series of crisis.
“This is truly disheartening and gives room for many speculative theories flying around that your government is not carrying everyone along,” JNI said.
