The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) Director, Prof Professor Isiaq Akintola has asserted that Muslims in the South West zone of the country have no other options than to support the candidature of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2023 polls.

Professor Akintola who expreßsed this  while speaking with  journalists at the University of Ibadan, maintained that Muslims in the South West region have a task  of supporting Asiwaju Tinubu. 

The MURIC Director pointed out that Yoruba Muslims have been suffering for decades as those who have either been President or Vice President from the South West region are Christians. 

“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”, he said 

Professor Akintola added, ” 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 have no other choice than to support him”.
