PRESS RELEASE:
WE REJECT MAKINDE'S CHRISTIAN
SUCCESSOR – MURIC
An Islamic human rights organization, the Muslim Rights Concern
(MURIC) has rejected the candidate endorsed by Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo
State.
The group argued that Makinde is acting a religious script to
oppress Oyo State Muslims by attempting to coronate a Christian as his
successor who will spend another eight years after Makinde himself, a
Christian, has spent eight gruesome years of Christianisation and suppression
of Islam in the state.
In a statement circulated to pressmen on Tuesday, 19th May, 2026,
the Executive Director of MURIC, Professor Ishaq Akintola, accused Governor
Makinde of diverting all the milk and honey in Oyo State to the Christians
while Muslims wallowed in abject poverty.
"It is turn by turn", Akintola insisted.
"Seyi Makinde, a Christian governor, has spent eight years in office. He
has no right to annoint another Christian as his successor. Christian monopoly
of governance must be stopped in Yorubaland.
"We have a convention. If a Muslim spends eight years in
office, a Christian should succeed him. It is so vice versa. Why does Makinde
want to change that unwritten protocol? It is the turn of the Muslims. Makinde
should not ignite a religious crisis in Oyo State.
"We charge Muslim leaders in the state to resist this
imposition with every legitimate means at their disposal. Muslims have the
population. They pay the highest tax. But Makinde has turned them into 3rd
class citizens. Why should Muslims hold the horns of the cow while the
Christians milk it?
"If Makinde thinks Muslims in the state have forgotten his
anti-Muslim antics, then he has got another thing coming. The list of his
atrocities against Muslims is longer than the Nile. But we will not mention
them now. They will remain in the cooler until he starts seeking Muslim
votes for his presidential joke."
