One should not say because there is freedom of speech or expression of ideas now makes one to be voicing out something that is liable to cause francas in the society. But rather we should attempt to make moves towards building and development of the society.

Rather than making this happen, the Muslim Right Concern (MURIC) Director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola, was of the view that the death occuring in Kano State, was aimed towards depopulating the Muslim population in the State. By the way, how can that be possible? Is the State Governor, Umar Ganduje, a Jehovah Witness member or President Muhammadu Buhari, a Pastor of an undisclosed Church?

One needs to ask the MURIC Director, because I think he must have seen what others are yet to perceive before he comes out with such insinuation.

Prof Akintola, is not just coming out for the first time to defame others with reference to his religious belief, he's even referred to as the 'Controversial MURIC Director', but there is a need to call him to order, since we the Nation is at helm of religious differences, against what can cause enemity among the people or cause chaos, so therefore someone must not be fueling it again.

He, also has a reputation for using MURIC to make alarmist claims, some of them false. In January, he tried to drive Muslims against Amotekun, a popular south-west initiate to combat insecurity. He tagged the initiative “an ostensibly anti-Muslim security network (coming) into operation in Yorubaland.”

Many Nigerians, including Muslims, have repeatedly denounced Mr Akintola’s MURIC rhetoric, warning him to rise above bigotry and instead promote harmonious co-existence by adherents of all religions as espoused by the Holy Quran.

I will suggest the man should be taken to the right place and have his head examined.
