MURIC made the call amid rumours that former President Olusegun Obasanjo was trying to draft the current President of the African Development Bank, ADB, Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina, into the 2023 presidential race.
MURIC stated this in a statement signed by its Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, Director and forwarded to DAILY POST on Tuesday. “We 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 and another 8 years as a civilian president . 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.
“It is an open secret that Yoruba Muslims who form the majority of the population in the South West are being denied their Allah-given fundamental human rights. This has led to complaints and court cases initiated by Muslims across Yorubaland over political and religious persecution. Yoruba Muslims are at the receiving end of deprivation of civil liberties.
Nigerians again! Can't we just change our mentality for once! wch one is 'Yoruba Muslim'again....na wa o! God have mercy on us.
Yourubas ain't this, rethink you bigot
These people are sick. We sinply need a person that would be of service to the people, a person that takes accountability and that has integrity and foresight. All these nonsense pick and chose based on region or religion is sick and is one of our problem.
2021 idiot award winner has spoken
This guy is so annoying. Can’t stand him sef..
This man is more dangerous than boko haram wallahi
This one go just dey vomit nonsense

Thunder fire 🔥 you muric
Mumu man
Confused people. They are the ones that led us into this problems. They are neither here nor there.
Is only in Nigeria you will se the type od golira talking, and media se it as news, in this time of problame everywhere in Naija shame on all of you, the so call old fool, and his media.
I thought the Yorubas are more United than any other ethic group, but why are we like this in this country please?
Look at the fool
Na watin dey kill Nigeria 🇳🇬 b dz
mad people everywhere
After oduduwa nation thern another crisis between Muslim of thesame oduduwa nation with Cristian hahahaah
This so called clergy man as lost same nut in his brain, what does religion has to do with leadership?
Don't worry, if being a Christian will make Tinubu president in 2023, he will go to any of his Yoruba G.O friends like Adeboye, Kumuyi or Oyedepo & they will baptize & name him Paul. If being a Muslim will make him president, he will go to Saudi for Hajj & end up in Sokoto.
Agent of confusion. This country is full of confused people.
This ones are just cows
MURIC was there when to be Yoruba Muslim president (Abiola) was annulled, what did you do?. MURIC your insinuations will not work out for you this time. If presidency will not go to the Igbos, let the Hausa/Fulani's take it again weather Christian or Muslim.
Hmmmnnnn... Some people are just out to cause division in this country. Is everyone not free to vie for presidency in a democracy? Why bring religious twist to it. We've have problem o. Buhari is not our problem o
Rubbish!!!
Are they turning Nigeria into an Islamic Nation? Why the religious & ethnic bigotry? We live in a country where there is no Love but strife, hatred, ethnic & religious bigots, insecurities to mention but a few. It's not by force to live together as one country. Let's separate.
What was MKO? Yayaya like it's never happened before...
We cannot become better Nigeria if we still have this mindset,Yoruba Muslim,Igbo Christian or Hausa traditionalist should be voted in come 2023.we won't get it right,instead searching diligently for the best qualified to fill the seat.we are our problem.
This is an outright bigot. An enemy of progress. For him, Igbos should not be President because of their religion
ODE, we know who u are rooting for
Why is this photo used?
Baba, sorry sir, am beginning to doubt ur knowledge, u live in the past, the present youth see beyond religion. Go to hell, you do not represent us
Somebody tell this MURIC leader that Yoruba existed beforw Islam came to the West.I were Yoruba 1st b4 u became Muslim...rubbish perspective..
The man always sounds moronic!
Please stop using Islam to propagate your evil agenda
This man drinks a lot a boiled Fanta
One of the major corner stone of Nigeria's problem is Religion. Nigerians are so religious without Godliness.
That is the problem with this man, why must it be Muslim?
Maga Oya go and contest now.
people will just be disgracing themselves 😒
Are we soo interested in Muslims president in this evil country, why are soo many religious bigots in this country.promoting religion instead of human unity.
😂😂
Muslims are bigots
I beg help us drop this man handle make i bless him with one ☝️ Prayer 🙏🏽
Continue to propagate religious segregation in Yoruba land.
Islamic noise maker at it again I must say something syndrome has affected him badly Too bad
Make dn no put religion for this matter
So the presidency is now based on religion...I fu*kin hate this country
What is Muslim president or Christian president, abi we Dey mad for this country ni because all we need is good governance and rule of law but here we are today with religion and tribal shii.
Vomiting rubbish from the mouth Everytime
This Muric man must be arrested even now
Yoruba Muslim kill you there
😂 😂
See foolish statements he is not even ashamed of himself always bringing religion inside public matters
Why are some people so senseless sef?
No its d turn of a Yoruba Shia Muslim. Sunni is currently in power so its d turn of a Shia. Since Nigeria is now an Islamic entity.
Agent of destabilization we know you, ask him his view on Buhari you will see his true color. He does not care if the country burns as long as a Muslim is there. We Yorubas are wiser than your antics. your type brought northern Nigeria to its present state
This man is religiously sick and none is discussing how he will get treatment. Which one is Yoruba muslim president and he's supposed to be a proff?
Muric is one man s organization and this make it easy for the man to misbehave sometimes.
Inconsequential lots.
Mkinlad 🤦♀️
What's all this nonsense, which one is yoruba Muslim presidential candidate 😂😂😂😂, mtcheeeew
This man just come life na to they promote another man religion, another man culture and traditions . What is the meaning of Yoruba Muslim, so u dont need to b a Nigerian to become a Nigerian president but a Fulani/ hause orYoruba Muslim . Nawao. Dey need to check this man brain
You guys should stop giving attention to a fool. Another plan so insightful. Yoruba Muslim and Yoruba Christian we are the same you can't create a barrier. We don't care who becomes the president East or South ok. Muslim or Christian we are one. ONE LOVE
MURIC for president
Fools.. no one is talking about having qualified persons to lead this nation.. its longer along tribal or ethnic lines. Now religion.. Islamic groups should call their Faithfuls to order they are most prone to uttering all these divisive rubbish.
No-sense statement as usual.
His face signifies controversies yet he's cleric.
Trying to bring Jagaban. Shame!!!
I laugh!!!! whether it’s Yoruba traditionalist, Fulani will always be Fulani and will always want to control power directly or indirectly. This contraption has been dead a long time. Disintegration is the only way forward. Biafraexit Oduduwaexit
how did this 'nkita' come into our political space and gain a voice in Nigeria, stooge and puppet of the north and charlatan
Sick people every where in our Yoruba Nation, God help us
Why must it be Muslim?
This bastards re the problem of Nigeria. Why at this point would people be thinking like this? Very sad.
Just say thiefnubu
Wake up, dt is not the solution to the problem at hand, let the lord choice for us, enough of five senses selection , Peace shall reign n The Man after God's heart will emerge as the president, by the grace of God, n no one , I mean no one not even me k owa HIM yet
You lie

Another Gumi in the Yoruba race

Which one is yoruba Muslim, and what has Buhari Muslim done right? are you saying there's a fault in Islam? Even is the president will be an habalist, let him have respect humanity.
After Fulani Muslim, next is Yoruba Muslim? Don't even the minorities in Northern part of the country deserve a chance, are they also not to be trusted? Preach Justice and equity preacher!!!
