Akinwunmi Adesina, 2023: We Want Yoruba Muslim As President - MURIC To Obasanjo by oilPUSSY(f): 10:27am On May 11, 2021
The Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, has said the next Yoruba presidential candidate should be a Muslim in the interest of fairness, justice and equity.

MURIC made the call amid rumours that former President Olusegun Obasanjo was trying to draft the current President of the African Development Bank, ADB, Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina, into the 2023 presidential race.

The Muslim human rights organisation based its stand on the fact that while three Yoruba Christians have occupied Aso Rock villa, no single Yoruba Muslim has held the post of president or Vice President since independence.

MURIC stated this in a statement signed by its Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, Director and forwarded to DAILY POST on Tuesday.

According to MURIC: “Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo is reportedly making attempts to draft the current president of the African Development Bank (ADB), Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina, into the 2023 presidential race. We object to this move. Obasanjo wants to waste all the efforts put in place by the Nigerian government to get Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina to that continental position.

“We remind the former president that as a Yoruba Christian, he has led Nigeria twice. He spent 3 years and 258 days as a military head of state (1976 – 1979) and another 8 years as a civilian president (1999 – 2007). Two other Yoruba Christians have also occupied Aso Rock. Chief Earnest Adegunle Oladeinde Shonekan was the interim head of state from 26th August 1993 to 17th November, 1993. The current vice president, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, is also a Yoruba Christian.

“Obasanjo’s attempt to drag Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina who is also a Yoruba Christian into the presidential race negates the principles of fairness, justice and equity. It is an attempt to rob Yoruba Muslims of the presidential slot and it violates a cardinal principle of democracy, namely, inclusiveness.

“It is an open secret that Yoruba Muslims who form the majority of the population in the South West are being denied their Allah-given fundamental human rights. This has led to complaints and court cases initiated by Muslims across Yorubaland over political and religious persecution. Yoruba Muslims are at the receiving end of deprivation of civil liberties. It is our contention that another Yoruba Christian presidency will usher in another opportunity for Christian hegemony and the marginalisation, stigmatisation, repression and persecution of Yoruba Muslims.

“Let Obasanjo tell us how many Yoruba Muslims were ministers in his administration. Even in Kwara State which is also a predominantly Muslim territory, Obasanjo picked two Christians as ministers (C. O. Adebayo and Funke Doyin). But he could not extend such ‘luxury’ to Yoruba Muslims in the South West.


“MURIC rejects this grand design to keep Muslims in Yorubaland in perpetual bondage. There are many Yoruba Muslims who are eminently qualified for the post of president. We also believe that the interest of the Yoruba people will be best served if they will channel their grievances towards ensuring that a Yoruba man emerges president instead of pursuing a separatist agenda that may lead them nowhere.

“We advise ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo to relax his grip on the Nigerian jugular vein. He should stop pushing Yoruba Muslims to the background. Christians are not the only human beings in Yorubaland. Fair sharing spreads goodwill. Monopoly generates rancour and ill-feeling. There is no true democracy where there is no inclusiveness. The political party does not matter to us. What is important is that the next Yoruba presidential ticket must go to a Yoruba Muslim in the name of fairness, justice and equity

That's why they are using religion to kill. They bring religion into everything.















Do you hate the way Fulani people are killing Nigerians? Do you hate the way they are taking YOUR life to be less than the life of their cows? If yes, kindly donate 1 minute of your time to sign this petition calling for an end to open grazing in Nigeria.

Nigeria has had many muslims presidents than Christians but has the country ever been better for it(if not fairly for Yar'Addua)?

Though the Christians have not done better.However, they avoided the OIC, league of muslim nations controversies.MURIC will never make sense anytime, anyday, anyway, anyhow, anywhere and whatever.

I use to think Yoruba Muslims were not fanatics till I met one who is my next door neighbour.

Last week, this woman beat up her four year old daughter like a thief cause the girl was playing with my dog with other kids.

I heard her beating the child so loudly and saying "mi o bi e ma'ja" and it saddened me.

Next day, I saw baby girl still rubbing my spoiled dog, I just whispered to her and told her to stop so her mummy won't beat her.

Lol, it is only on nairaland I read about muric, I haven't heard people discussing muric before in a public or private place in yoruba land atleast, all the cities I have been to.

How can Muslims be majority in South West, when many people in ekiti or ondo state don't even know what a mosque looks like, or even my town, you hardly see mosques.

I think Muslim leadership are so poor in sampling and numeric calculations. How can Muslims be more than Christians in SW and even in Nigeria?
Objectively, only in ilorin which is not even part of SW one can say there could be more Muslims than the Christians, even in same ilorin, no family without a Christian in most cases. If enumeration is conducted today in Nigeria objectively, Muslims can't be up to 40% of the population. People are being confused by the loudness and frustrated forceful Muslims to make beleive of their presence.
