The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has declared support for the 2023 presidency ambition of the former Lagos state governor, Bola Tinubu.
MURIC on Monday in a statement released by the Director, Ishaq Akintola, said that Yoruba do not have to search too far as the leader of the ruling party has shown interest.
He said that the All Progressives Congress National (APC) leader has ‘impeccable pedigree’.
Akintola further added that the best thing Yoruba people can do for the region is to rally behind Tinubu and ensure that he clinches power in 2023.
He said; “Fortunately the Yoruba do not have to search too far as a former governor of Lagos State and leader of the ruling party has shown interest. Here is a candidate that brandishes impeccable pedigree.
“Nobody can deny his political dexterity. He is known to have fought and won several political battles. The best the Yoruba people can do for the region is to rally behind this candidate and ensure that he clinches power in 2023,” Akintola added.
According to him, “Power shift to the South has become mandatory as President Muhammadu Buhari would have spent eight complete years by 2023 and all eyes are presently on the South-West.
“Therefore the region cannot afford to lose the opportunity due to restlessness, recklessness, unnecessary protests, issuance of quit notices to other ethnicities and a general lack of stability”, he added.
