Election and appointments into public offices based on religion have been identified as the major cause of under-performance in governance.
According to the Founder, Spiritual Head and Grand Imam of Shafaudeen-in-Islam Worldwide, Prof. Sabitu Olagoke, who made this assertion recently, in a lecture titled ''RELIGION PASSIVITY AND THE CHALLENGES OF DEVELOPMENT, in an event to commemorate his 64th birthday in Ibadan, Nigeria, ''we hypocritically wear the toga of religion to get into power without respecting the curriculum that upholds religion. How relevant is religion on our political activities, almost nil to the opium level.''
''Leaders are chosen based on religious inclination. Appointments equally have religious and ethnic coloration. However, in performance rating, there is a total deviation from the upholding Scriptures to the policy and behavior of the people chosen under religious clouds and clouts into political positions hence the underperformance,'' Prof. Olagoke stated.
