MURIC: It’s Not Yet The Turn For a Christian to be Nigeria’s President

In reaction to a recent statement by Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN calling for a Christian president for Nigeria by 2023, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), has told the Christian body that it is not yet the turn of a Christian to be the President of Nigeria.

MURIC said it based its argument on mathematical exactitude from the time Nigeria began democratic rule in 1999.

Director and Founder of MURIC, Professor Ishaq Akintola stated this on Monday in a statement he personally signed.

The statement reads: “We believe that it is not yet the turn of a Christian to be the President of Nigeria if we want to go by mathematical exactitude from the time Nigeria began civil rule in 1999,” the group added.

“Chief Mathew Aremu Olusegun Obasanjo, a Christian, spent eight (8) years as president (1999 – 2007). Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan also spent five (5) years (5th May, 2010 – 29th May, 2015). That brings the total spent by Christian presidents in Aso Rock to thirteen (13) years.

“Meanwhile Alhaji Musa Yaradua, a Muslim, spent three (3) years as president and the incumbent, President Muhammadu Buhari, will be completing his eighth year in office by the good Grace of Allah on 29th May, 2023. By simple arithmetic, this will bring the total spent by the two Muslim presidents to eleven (11) years.

“MURIC is being generous, otherwise it would have towed the line of those who argue that Jonathan spent six (6) years and that will bring the total number of years spent by Christians to fourteen (14). In the same vein, we would have supported those who said Yaradua spent just two (2) years and that would have reduced the number of years spent by Muslims in power to ten (10) years.
