MURIC Says Bishops At Shettima’s Unveiling Not Fake, Reveals Their Identity

Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has claimed clerics that attended the unveiling of Bola Tinubu’s running mate, Kashim Shettima are real Catholic bishops.

MURIC, which accused the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), of shying away from reality and living in self-denial, said the clerics present at Shettima’s unveiling as the All Progressive Congress, APC vice-presidential candidate are not fake as claimed by the Christian body.

MURIC Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola made the claim in a statement issued on Friday while reacting to the dissociation by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).

Prof Akintola said: “Going by the findings, it is now very clear that leaders of CAN have distanced themselves from reality,”

“How low can a religious body descend? What does CAN stand to gain by deceiving its followers?

MURIC said Bishop Kamoru is “a real cleric from Peace Chapel, Mararaba”, in Nasarawa State.

“A picture has emerged where he was seen conducting a wedding in the church. Some members have come up to say that they knew him personally.

“Reverend Father Hyacinth Alia, of Gboko Catholic Diocese, Benue State, is also the APC Governorship candidate.

“Pastor Prince Ugokwe, also confirmed that he is a real pastor and not fake”,

The Islamic body noted that CAN “is not to be trusted” for CAN disowning “but knowledgeable bishops and pastors”.

“This shows that a caucus within the leadership of CAN has unleashed tyranny of the oligarchy on Christendom in Nigeria”, the statement added.
