The Jagunmolu Olubadan of Ibadanland, Chief Engr. Jubril Dotun Sanusi Chairman , Ilaji Hotels and Sports Resort has reacted to the malicious allegations from an Islamic group of Tijjaaniyya Grassroot Mobilization and Initiative of Nigeria (TIGMEIN),
This was gathered from a press statement personally signed by the Senior Chief of Ibadanland and made available to www.freshvoicenewsmedia.com.ng Chief Sanusi stated as follows: It has come to my attention that certain individuals, in a blatant attempt to tarnish my reputation and undermine my integrity, have concocted a malicious narrative aimed at misleading the public and sowing seeds of discord. As a man of unwavering principles and steadfast commitment to truth, I feel compelled to address these baseless accusations head-on.
First and foremost, let me unequivocally state that while I was born into a Muslim family, raised with the values and traditions of Islam by my father, Alhaji Ganiyu Oladosu Sanusi, and my mother, Musili Abegbe Sanusi (nee Adedeji), I have since embraced Christianity and held fast to its teachings for many years.
To suggest that I have undergone a sudden conversion to Islam for political gain is not only absurd but also deeply offensive. My faith journey is a deeply personal one, guided by my conscience and convictions. I have long embraced Christianity as my spiritual path and have remained steadfast in my beliefs.
Furthermore, the allegations regarding a supposed name change to an Islamic moniker are entirely unfounded. My name, Jubril Dotun Sanusi, reflects the fusion of my cultural and religious identity, a testament to the diversity and inclusivity that define our society. At no point have I sought to conceal or alter my name for political purposes.
As for the reference to my support for Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the 2023 presidential elections, I categorically reject any attempt to twist my words or misrepresent my intentions. My advocacy for Senator Tinubu was based on his merits as a candidate and his vision for our nation, not on religious affiliations. I have always maintained that politics should transcend religious divides, and I stand by that principle wholeheartedly.
In conclusion, let me reaffirm my unwavering commitment to transparency, honesty, and integrity in all my dealings, both personal and political. I refuse to be drawn into the mire of deceit and deception that characterizes certain elements of our political landscape. My conscience is clear, and I remain resolute in my dedication to serving the people of Oyo State with dignity and honor.
