A new League of Imams and Alfa has been inaugurated in Yorubaland, a development already generating strong reactions within Islamic and community circles across the region.

Promoters of the initiative say the league was created to foster unity among Yoruba Muslims, strengthen religious leadership and address longstanding internal disagreements that have affected coordination among clerics. According to insiders, the new body aims to provide a structured platform for collaboration, conflict resolution and community development.

Supporters have described the move as a long-awaited reform that could usher in renewed direction and influence for Islamic institutions in the South-West. However, critics have raised questions about the league’s authority, leadership structure and how it may affect existing religious organisations and traditional councils.

Observers say the emergence of the group could reshape religious dynamics in Yorubaland if it succeeds in gaining broad acceptance among scholars and worshippers. As reactions continue to pour in, stakeholders are closely watching to see whether the development signals a period of unity or a potential realignment of leadership within the Muslim community.
