Muslim-Muslim Ticket: MURIC Sends A Powerful Message To Tinubu
Eagle’s Sight News reports that an Islamic group known as The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has counselled Asiwaju Bola Ahmef Tinubu, to meet the ‘Noble Dozen’, before choosing a running mate for the 2023 presidential election..
According to MURIC ‘Noble Dozen’ is the name it gave to the twelve Northern governors who made their agreement stood strong for Presidency within the APC to go to the South in order to ensure the South produce President Muhammadu Buhari’s successor.
The Islamic group unveils this piece of advice in a statement signed by its director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola, on Saturday.
“We will like to advise that apart from ensuring that the position of vice president in 2023 goes to the North, Senator Tinubu should consult the ‘Noble Dozen’,” the group said.
“Those we refer to as the Noble Dozen are those twelve (12) sincere Northern governors who disabused the minds of Nigerians concerning the myth of Northern hegemony and a nonexistent caliphate oligarchy by insisting that APC’s presidential candidate must come from the South. This was a great sacrifice and a noble idea.
“They demonstrated statesmanship, patriotism and nobility of thought by that action. “
