Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, has kicked against the decision of Taraba State governor, Darius Dickson Ishaku, to appoint only Christians as principal officers of the Taraba State University (TSU).

The Islamic rights group also questioned the governor’s alleged lopsided appointments of permanent secretaries which, which according to them, favoured Christians only.

MURIC, in a statement by its director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, challenged the governor to explain his decision to such actions.

The group explained that the Taraba Muslim Council had recently disclosed that Muslims who applied the positions scored highest marks in the interview.

The vacant positions were for the Vice chancellor, registrar and bursar of TSU, and MURIC said it was surprised that the Christian applicants who, according to them, scored less, were given the exalted positions.

“This is highly disgusting, extremely repugnant and outrageously scandalous. Governor Darius Dickson Ishaku is sacrificing excellence on the altar of mediocrity,” the group said.

The group said that Governor Ishaku has set a dangerous precedent by appointing allegedly less qualified Christian and dropping an eminently qualified Muslim, describing the action of the governor as the height of articulated religiousity.

“The public wants to know the circumstances surrounding the appointments of Christians only as key officers of the university,” MURIC said, adding that the governor must put his cards on the table for all to see.

MURIC said that the government has not been to provided any answer as to how Prof Sunday Bako, Mr Joseph Bibinu and Mr Abraham Bagu emerge as vice chancellor, registrar and bursar respectively.

“Can the Taraba state governor explain why Engr. Mohammed Yusuf Bose was sidelined and two of his juniors in rank, Samuel Lauya and Godfrey Dame were appointed permanent secretaries?

“Is there also any explanation for appointing a Christian who is junior to Abdulkadir Nagari, Hashimu Hammawa and Dr. Shehu Kara?”

Don't mind those insignificant religious critics. If I were the governor, I will appoint those critics into the ministry of baseless criticism. Their religious brainwashed nature can't even allow them serve society justly...they are only competent in serving cows.

Let me unequivocally state here that I'm not a religiously biased nor an ethnocentric person, but where were MURIC abi na MUSIC when the governor of Kebbi refused to give the Chief Judge of the state to a woman and a Christian, citing her religious affiliation. We're you sleeping then? Honestly I blame those media that usually interview this guy

Taraba is a Christian State.
If there are 100 people in Taraba state, 70 or more of them are Christians, yet the deputy gov is always a Muslim,
But in Kaduna where Muslims are about 55 and Christians are about 45, they have Muslims as gov and deputy.

What about Enugu Anambra imo and Abia?

99 percent of Federal Government appointments in enugu are igbos, ibo are worse.

This is where Yoruba should get sense, both ibo and Fulani will not pick Yoruba first before their people

Can Mumuric also tell us why despite being a predominantly Christian State, not a single federal appointment under Buhari has gone to Taraba Christians?

You lie.taraba is ,,50 50

Mumuric zukwanuike ��.
Na wa oo.

This Yoruba Muslim never talks about Kaduna state, Buhari or any other place Muslims are unfairly favoured over others but starts having an erection when Christians do half of what the Muslims do.

if they are qualify
they are good to go
Wan Nigeria

If it was true he did that, it is condemned.

That was how kwara governor picked a person from his place as vice chancellor of kwara state university ahead of those that performed better than him in the interview.

Everybody misbehaving at their corner failing in their responsibility to do right.

If a Muslim governor does something like this, they will call him terrorist.


I condemn El Rufai when he made a Muslim his deputy.



I am also condemning Ishaku, if this allegation is the truth.




ALL INJUSTICES SHOULD BE FOUGHT, IRRESPECTIVE OF WHO IS INVOLVED.

Religious extremism will ruin the so called Oduduwa republic. How a tribe sees every action from the religious prism baffles me a lot. This is the main reason for the under development in the south west region.

garfield1:


You lie.taraba is ,,50 50

Oga don't sit in Ogbomosho and tell me the reality here.
50/50 and no Muslim has been elected governor since 1999..? We all know how Northern Muslims like to dominate any where they are.

Adamawa is like 60/40 in favor of Christians, but the Muslims have vowed not to allow a Christian to be elected Governor and they have keep to that. I blame the brukutu drinking Christians sha.

Now imagine if Taraba has up to 50% muslums as you claimed.

I guess u just join nairaland? May be u should go back to religious thread and read slowly and carefully this time around

You can Imagine..
I like what the governor is doing, let him Christianize the Whole state.
Every year, he invites great men of God to the state and sponsor everything. W.F Kumuyi is currently there.

Don't mind him. You won't hear them talk about this

This werey have never spoken about the anal rape Fulani Muslims are giving Yoruba Muslims in APC when it's their "turn" to be president

He won't speak when Yoruba Muslims are sent packing to Cotonou, Na far north east he dey see right

Slaves have no right

I've done a threat on religion in taraba showing that its 50 50 and nobody challenged me.taraba north and central are Muslim dominated,only taraba south is xtian dominated.why Muslims haven't rule is because of disunity and the desire of t.y danjuma never to allow Muslims rule...do an LGA by LGA investigation...the senators for taraba north and south are always Muslims
Adamawa is slightly Muslim dominated.out of the 21 LGAs there,12 are Muslim dominated and Muslims dominate yola and mubi which has the largest populations

Adamawa 60/40 in favour of Christians, hahahaha, very funny.

Hopeless man. What about Buhari appointment?

Muric go take several seats ! When bubu dey do u not talk

Nigeria and Sentiment

Oh lord!!! Muric are just annoying.


If RELIGION doesn't kill us all in Nigeria. Tribal war would.

Whoever is the right man for the job should be appointed. As long as he is fair and just with all tribes and religion. We need to start looking beyond religion in public offices .

He doesn't need terrorists, the man wise ,these mumuric folks should rather blast Russia with bombs instead of blasting a governor that appointed those he can work with..how many Christians have been appointed by core North like katsina, bornu ,yobe etc ,this professor lack functional brain
