The Muslims faithful said the appointment of the Secretary to the State Government, the Chief of Staff and the Chief Press Secretary was against balance and fairness against the Muslim community which Fayemi promised.

He said: "The exclusion of Muslims from the principal officers of this administration is worrisome, unjust, condemnable and unacceptable."

The Ekiti Muslim community saw the appointments as a calculated attempt to exclude Muslims from the fundamental aspect of decision making process in Ekiti State.”

"Excluding Muslims from the first three important appointments announced by the governor is shocking and highly disturbing to all Muslims in the state.”
