We object to this move. Obasanjo wants to waste all the efforts put in place by the Nigerian government to get Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina to that continental position.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe remind the former president that as a Yoruba Christian, he has led Nigeria twice. He spent 3 years and 258 days as a military head of state (1976 \u2013 1979) and another 8 years as a civilian president (1999 \u2013 2007). Two other Yoruba Christians have also occupied Aso Rock. Chief Earnest Adegunle Oladeinde Shonekan was the interim head of state from 26th August 1993 to 17th November, 1993. The current vice president, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, is also a Yoruba Christian.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet Obasanjo tell us how many Yoruba Muslims were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/05\/10\/we-receive-weapons-from-dss-agents-bandits\/\">ministers<\/a> in his administration. Even in Kwara State which is also a predominantly Muslim territory, Obasanjo picked two Christians as ministers (C. O. Adebayo and Funke Doyin). But he could not extend such \u2018luxury\u2019 to Yoruba Muslims in the South West.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMURIC rejects this grand design to keep Muslims in Yorubaland in perpetual bondage. There are many Yoruba Muslims who are eminently qualified for the post of president. We also believe that the interest of the Yoruba people will be best served if they will channel their grievances towards ensuring that a Yoruba man emerges president instead of pursuing a separatist agenda that may lead them nowhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has stated that the next Yoruba presidential candidate should be a Muslim in the interest of fairness, justice and equity.
