MURIC Asks Buhari To Appoint More Yoruba Muslims To His Cabinet by OkunrinOloro: 7:42am On Mar 22, 2019

PRESS RELEASE:
SOUTH WEST: MURIC DEMANDS MUSLIM MINISTERS

As Nigeria prepares for the second term of President Muhammadu Buhari and his ministerial list, the Muslim Rights Concern has proactively demanded that Muslims must have a fair share of the list of ministers who will be appointed from the South West.


This position was made known in a press statement issued by the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) on Friday, 22nd March, 2019 and signed by its Founder and Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola.


MURIC, a human rights group, argued that despite the fact that Muslims are in the majority in the South West, Muslims in the region have always been shortchanged politically.


The group added, “We received the worst treatment under former President Goodluck Jonathan. He appointed six ministers from the sub-region but, to our dismay, all of them were Christians. We complained severally about this gross injustice but he ignored us for three good years (2011 to 2014).


“A delegation of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) led by the Sultan of Sokoto met him in Aso Rock and presented this lopsidedness among other grudges. This was on Wednesday 26th March, 2014. To our surprise, Jonathan retorted by asking us why the Northern states have not been sponsoring Christians in the North on pilgrimage.


“That was the kind of leader Jonathan was. We complained to him about the marginalization of a Muslim majority in the South West and he challenged us with the issue of Christian minorities in the North. That was how he exposed himself as a president whose interest lay in waging a crusade against Muslims. He reluctantly appointed two Muslims some months later. Wailers accusing President Buhari of lopsided appointments may take this as food for thought.


“MURIC is neither being selfish nor sentimental. Natural justice demands equitable representation if we are all part of the Nigerian project. By the time newly elected governors are sworn in on May 29, 2019, the South West will be having five Christian governors and only one Muslim governor. This leaves Muslims at a disadvantage in a sub-region where they are the majority.


“Unfortunately the situation was not redressed by the current administration. Of the six ministers appointed by Buhari, only two (Babatunde Raji Fashola and Adebayo Shittu) are Muslims. The remaining four are Christians. The only difference is that Buhari was not pressurized by the Muslims before he gave them two ministers. Neither were all his ministers from the area Christians like Jonathan did. Buhari gave the Muslims two slots and gave Christians four. Jonathan gave the Christians six and left the Muslims to whistle for their dinner.


“We are therefore demanding Muslim ministers in all the states where the governors are Christians (Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Ondo and Ekiti). This request should be considered against the backdrop of the gross marginalisation which Yoruba Muslims have faced in the past.


“As we take a break, we appeal to the presidency to consider the need to urgently address the injustice done to Muslims in the South West where they are the majority. They have always been politically marginalized despite having qualified personnel. Unfortunately Buhari’s regime has also inadvertently shortchanged them. In the name of justice, fairness and equity, therefore, we demand Muslim ministers in the five South West states where the governors will be Christians come May 29, 2019.

Director,
Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC)

Why is MURIC not fighting on behalf of Igbo Muslims in the east and the SS Muslims in the Niger delta? The last time i checked, igbo Muslims are marginalized and persecuted by igbo Christians. If MURIC is sincere about representing the interests of Muslims, he should focus on igbo land where they hate Islam the most. Islam needs to grow to 50% in the SS/SE in 5 years time to address the issue of marginalisation of Muslims there.

Yoruba Muslims should be very careful.
The silence of some of us Christian Yorubas is not an act of cowardice.

What ever Yoruba Muslims want this time around we are going to give it to them fire for fire. The animal even said that Yoruba Muslims are majority in SW.. who dash monkey Banana ?
That you are loud and good at making unnecessary noise doesn't mean that you are majority .As they say..... empty vessels make the most noise.

Yoruba Christians, it's time for us to wake up and give Yoruba Muslims their own dosage. The islamisation of SW has swung into full gear. This can't happen under my nose. Yoruba Muslims dont and never meant well for us.
Whenever you hear that useless and deceptive slogan "Yoruba is Yoruba " by Yoruba Muslims,, check the situation on ground, Muslims are dominating at that point, but Yoruba muslims won't allow non Muslims to have a say.

If Yoruba Muslims are not hell bent in islamising SW with the help of the caliphate, why is it that Yoruba Christians are not recruited in government jobs ? . If a recruitment is done , 7 out of people recruited will be Muslims
Why do Muslims have where they worship all over the Local governments in Lagos but Christians don't have any ?, yet these people will keep playing the victim card in some cases just to keep deceiving the gullible.. It's still part and parcel of taquia..

Yoruba Christian wake up and face your enemy eye ball to eye ball. If we keep quiet and allow this rubbish to continue, the insurgency in the NE will be a child's play to compare with what might befall SW in future. The radicalism is getting out of hand.

My mention is accessible for Yoruba Muslims to wail as usual . They hate when I am saying the truth especially in the public.. Very hopeless people.

We gave 10 more years to start blowing up themselves. It will happen.

We told them SW is polarized along ethnic line but they said it is a line, we told them an average yoruba moslem is more loyal to his islamic faith than to his yoruba heritage.

There are reasons we don't give islam a chance in the East. We will never allow a tint in our religious homogeneity, judaism is practiced, african traditional religion is practice, but Islam?

NEVER

I blame Christian South East and South South who attends churches owned by Yorubas.

These Pastorprenuers are only interested in your money, they want to SAP you dry and finally convert those mega churches to mosques at the appointed time.

Yoruba Pastorprenuers don't even preach the gospel to their Muslim brothers and sisters.



70% of all Yorubas have become Muslims, telling you that these evil Pastorprenuers are just robbers and thieves. THEY ARE PASTORS IN THE DAY, AND MUSLIMS AT NIGHT...

Any Igbo still attending churches owned by a Yoruba is the most foolish person on earth.

Who make them majority?

Remove Northerners from SW and yoruba moslems are just few. There are more Northerners in SW than SE/SS.

Those guys have taken over Iwo which has the largest concentration of moslems in the SW.

70% of Okada riders in Lagos are Northerners and all those guys are moslems. Today is Friday, go to any Central mosque, you will see more hausas there than Yorubas, even in Lekki.

I was surprised when I went to Lekki one Friday and saw an army of them trooping out from one the central mosques.

What you said is truth.
They are using religion to invade SW en masse.
Yorubas think Its Igbos that are their problem in Lagos.
Thank God how Obiano stopped Okada in Onitsha, cos they wanted to use the same tactics in osha but they got stopped.
