I’m a Man of Integrity, I’ll Never Deny My Religion For Political Gain – Jubril Dotun Sanusi Replies Group
Ilaji Resort’s Boss, Engr. Jubril Dotun Sanusi has urged the general public not to allow anyone or group to confuse them about his religion, saying he was born into a Muslim family but had converted to Christianity.
Sanusi, the Jagun Olubadan of Ibadanland gave the clarification while reacting to a false accusation made against him by a Muslim society group Tijjaaniyyah Grassroot mobilization and initiative of Nigeria (TIGMEIN).
TIGMEIN in a statement had alleged
Ilaji Resort’s Boss, Engr. Jubril Dotun Sanusi of deceiving the general public about his religion, saying he is trying to denounce Christianity and claim to be a Muslim all because of politics
According to the Muslim group said, ” He (Dotun Sanusi ) has embarked on a desperate scheming, adopting a false Islamic name and adding that to his nomenclature. The erstwhile Pastor Dotun Sanusi, who preaches Jesus Christ to his congregation at his Church in Ilaji farms and Resorts has suddenly metamorphosed into Jubril Dotun Sanusi, while his paid charlatans are busy propagating the falsehood and playing upon the collective psyche and intelligence of both the Christians and the Muslim ummah.
” To the esteemed members of Tijjaaniyyah Grassroot Mobilization and Initiative of Nigeria (TIGMEIN),
” 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.” Jubril Dotun Sanusi
