Mind Yourself, Watch Your Tongue, MURIC warns Fayose against reckless statement

Category: Nigeria National News

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has warned Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose against reckless statement capable of undermining the nation’s democracy.

The group claimed that Fayose’s comment that the ongoing investigation, ordered by President Muhammadu Buhari, into the involvement of immediate past military chiefs in scams in the purchase of arms could motivate the military toppling Buhari’s government, was least expected of his office as a governor.

 The group, in a statement signed by its Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola described Fayose’s comment as unnecessary warning, distasteful and alarming.

“It is short in sincerity but long in hypocrisy. It is also provocative. It falls within the rank of hate speech and incitement,” MURIC noted.

According to the Rights body, “There is no gainsaying the fact that there has been no love lost between Governor Ayodele Fayose and President Buhari. The governor has never been known to wish the president well. Is this not the same governor who placed a full-page death-wish advertisement in the newspaper before the presidential elections? This same governor has become known for his blind and unobjective criticism of Buhari’s policies since the inception of this administration. So who is he trying to scare?”

Continuing, it said, “Fayose’s opposition to the current war against corruption should therefore not surprise anyone. His allergy for probity and accountability led him to insist that he would not embrace the Treasury Single Account (TSA) policy. We shall know them by their fruits. Just yesterday, Sokoto State was able to discover N1.5 billion excess through the TSA. This alone proves that TSA is in our best interest. So who is Fayose deceiving? What purpose does his grandstanding serve?

“We remind the Nigerian Army that military rule has become an anachronism. Any involvement of the military in politics is a misadventure. Nigerians have not only breathed the air of democracy, they have tasted its delicious juice. They have bitten, chewed and swallowed its fulfilling morsels. There is no going back. Let no frustrated politician deceive our soldiers. Nigerians have long declared a caveat emptor: military rule must not come back again.”
