The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has said that Muslims in the South West zone have no other option than to support the candidature of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.


MURIC Director, Professor Isiaq Akintola, made this disclosure while addressing journalists at the University of Ibadan, Oyo State at the weekend.

DAILY POST reports that Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State, is the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Our correspondent recalls that South West Muslims under the platform of Muslim Ummah of South West Nigeria (MUSWEN) through its President, Alhaji Rasaki Oladejo had last week endorsed the candidature of Tinubu.


Akintola has now said that Muslims in the South West region have no choice than to support Tinubu.

Akintola, who addressed journalists during a send-forth and book presentation organised by MUSWEN in honour of a former Executive Secretary of the organisation, Professor Daud Noibi, said that Yoruba Muslims have been suffering for decades.

He added that those who have either been President or Vice President from the region are Christians.

Akintola said, “MUSWEN endorsed the APC presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and I want to affirm that MUSWEN has no other choice. They don’t have any other alternative.


“MURIC has said it earlier that we are supporting a Muslim presidential candidate from the South West.

“Because the Yoruba Muslims have suffered for decades. All those who have been either President or Vice President are Christians.

“From Obasanjo to Diya to Shonekan and now to the current Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, all of them have been Christians.

“At this time, we are supporting MUSWEN for endorsing Tinubu. MURIC has said it earlier that we want a Muslim presidential candidate and since Tinubu has emerged as the APC candidate, the South West Muslims has no other choice than to support him”.

We still have a long way to go in Nigeria

God will punish you and that your Tinubu. By the special grace of God, he will lose.

Since Tinubu is a Yoruba moslem agenda, Christians should sit up and smell the coffee

Yoruba moslems should vote Tinubu, their candidate, let other Nigerians that want to move forward vote for a pan-Nigrerian

SIMPLE

Only atiku can save, Christians, from Tinubu and his terrorists..

Atiku is coming

God knows best.

For those who were hoping or thinking that tribe and religion wouldn't influence voting this time...

Lagos -was d Capital city of Nigeria for more than 7 Decades

Lagos -Never Experienced Civil War

Lagos -Never Experienced Marginalization from FG

So what is d comparison all about? Dat made u prefer thief over credible Leader

MURIC, I pray APC loose, Christians will be forced to observe Muslim prayers.

You didn't see an Atiku candidate to support
You did not see Peter Obi candidate
You didn't see the Kwankwaso candidate
All these Presidential candidates have both Muslims and Christians, reflecting the mood of Nigeria.
Yet MURIC left them to support Muslim-Muslim tickets. If this is what Muslims represent, their beliefs/gods should be questioned.

I will not encourage anybody to join this type of people.

Imagine your president walking to a G20 meeting like a ghost walker
Shame no go allow you say you are a Nigerian

I honestly pity any Nigerian, especially Christian, that will be brainwashed enough to vote for Tinubu. Don't say you were not warned, and that " anyone can make a mistake ". You will not be able to hide from karma when it comes calling. You've been warned.

Yoruba Muslims and tribalism eehn
Muriq will be worst than Osama if given the opportunity
I will rather be comfortable with an Hausa Muslim than a Yoruba Muslim

If a Christian says this in support of Peter Obi now, they'll remember INEC rules and regulations but since it's MURIC, then no problem. Everything they've said about Peter Obi being sectional, candidate of the Igbos, candidate of only Christians is exactly what Tinubu and his supporters are doing yet the hypocrites keep gaslighting Nigerians

May God help Nigerians that all I can say for now.

Dead on arrival
