The Muslim Rights Concern has urged Muslim aspirants vying for the position of the President of the 10th Senate to withdraw to allow a Southern Christian to contest for the position.

The Executive Director of MURIC, Professor Ishaq Akintola, made the call on Thursday.

The Islamic human rights group noted that it wants the Senate president’s position to be occupied by a Christian from the South, as this will foster cooperation peace, and development amongst citizens.

The statement in part, “As the clock ticks away for the 29th May inauguration date of the Bola Tinubu administration, elected lawmakers and politicians have intensified the lobby game. We have seen how the different geo-political zones as well as individual politicians and stakeholders have demanded key positions in the National Assembly.

“Chief among those positions is the Senate presidency as it is the Number 3 position in the country after the president and vice president. As a major stakeholder in the affairs of Nigeria, we have followed with keen interest the imbroglio which greeted the Muslim-Muslim ticket, and how it ended in Nigeria having a Muslim President-Elect and a Muslim Vice President-Elect.

“In view of this outcome and considering the multi-religious character of our dear country, Nigeria, it is our considered opinion that the post of senate president should go to a Southern Christian. Nigeria needs the cooperation of both Muslims and Christians because only such collaboration can engender peace and development.

MURIC added, “Although we are a Muslim group, we believe very strongly that Muslims should not take all the top posts despite being the undisputed majority group in the country. Muslims must be ready to share power with their Christian compatriots. Politics is a game of give and take and Nigerian Muslims must play it right.

Hope this incoming administration will be better than the outgoing calamitous administration,in terms of inclusiveness in government, because Nigerians have never been so divided ethnically and religiously, like we currently have under the hopeless outgoing administration.
Nigeria is not immune to disintegration,but it is up to a sensible government to prevent it by doing the right thing in the proper way.

This man na real attention man.. him like the spotlight well well

Does Nigeria still exist? This one that MURIC is talking, hope it's not just a propaganda?

Oya Christians crumbs offer from muric
