Yoruba Youths Reject Plans to Introduce Sharia Law In South West

The article from Legit.ng discusses the strong opposition by Yoruba youths, represented by the Yoruba Youth Council (YYC), to the introduction of Sharia law in the South-West region of Nigeria. The YYC has explicitly rejected any attempts to implement Sharia law, emphasizing that such a move would be unconstitutional and against the secular nature of the Nigerian state. They argue that the South-West, known for its cultural and religious diversity, should not be subjected to a legal system that could potentially marginalize non-Muslims. The council's stance is that the region's existing legal framework, which is based on common law and customary law, adequately serves the diverse population. They also call for unity among Yoruba people and other ethnic groups in the region to resist what they perceive as an imposition of religious law, highlighting the importance of maintaining peace and harmony through adherence to the country's secular constitution.
