The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has reaffirmed its preference for a presidential candidate from the Yoruba Muslim stock.
The group warned that any party that picks a Yoruba Christian as its 2023 candidate should forget Muslim votes.

“No political party should tell us that they cannot find competent Yoruba Muslims”, Professor Ishaq Akintola said on Monday.

A statement by the Director said no Yoruba Muslim ever occupied the State House either as president or vice president since 1960.

MURIC advised presidential aspirants and parties mapping out strategies for the next general elections to heed its call.

Akintola condemned the “stigmatisation galore” for Yoruba Muslims in Nigeria since independence.

The organization claimed they are denied almost all civil liberties, including admission into schools.

Akintola alleged many cannot get international passports, driving licences and voter registration cards because they are asked to remove their hijab for capturing.

He said schools humiliate hijab-wearing female Muslim students while the courts in the South-West are littered with litigations “on this ignoble stereotyping”.

“It is our belief that Yoruba Muslims need federal might to eliminate or at least scale down the tornado of oppression and the Tsunami of anti-Muslim sentiment.

Only a Yoruba Muslim president who knows what has been happening can do this effectively. Who feels it, knows it”, Akintola insisted.

MURIC added that its position was not a categorical rejection of a Christian presidential candidate in 2023.

This man is the definition of what the street call Asé
always talking along religious line.
This man is a terrorist I make bold to say this, he's capable of causing mayhem in the yoruba race. I think the our Kings needs to call him to other before it gets too late.


Akintola alleged many cannot get international passports, driving licences and voter registration cards because they are asked to remove their hijab for capturing.

But they can remove it when they want to bath or have sex... Rubbish and hypocrisy.

MURIC always playing MUMU.

I back this beautiful move

Their father has gone mad again!

We voted Buhari that attended all lesser Hajj and Umurahh till date in conjunction with an RCCG pastor and we got nothing genuine.

Who cares about the religion of the next President??

Anybody that can remove us from this mess is welcome even if he/she did not have a religion.

We are first humans before religion divides us.

MURIC is a tool and not a leader!

Which one is "Yoruba Muslim" again

This man should take the back sit.

Spokesman of the YMM (yorubber Muslim miscreants) cum Afonja backstabber has spoken.

A Yoruba man is dividing his tribe along religious line already, something is wrong with the psych of the an indoctrinated Muslim.

It is his type that politicians will use to divide the people during election


Give a YMM a plate of gbegiri and ewedu with hydraulic soup and he will gladly betray his kith and kin.
