An Islamic rights advocacy group, Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has condemned the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Lagos Headquarters for planning to hold a meeting on the premises of a church in Ikeja, Lagos on Thursday. Prof. Ishaq Akintola, Director of MURIC, who made this call in a statement made available to SaharaReporters, tackled INEC for picking Archbishop Vining Memorial Church Cathedral, Ikeja, as the venue of the meeting with the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mr Olusegun Agbaje.

December 8, 2022An Islamic rights advocacy group, Muslim Rights Concern has condemned the Independent National Electoral Commission , Lagos Headquarters for planning to hold a meeting on the premises of a church in Ikeja, Lagos on Thursday.

The statement reads:"The Lagos headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission has scheduled a meeting for tomorrow, Thursday, 8th December, 2022. Unfortunately, the organisers have picked Archbishop Vining Memorial Church Cathedral, Ikeja, as the venue of the meeting with the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mr. Olusegun Agbaje.

"The choice of a church as a venue for a meeting of INEC is very insensitive, particularly given the very volatile situation we are in Nigeria today. It is an open secret that Christian pastors are deeply involved in political campaigns. Many of them have turned the 2023 election into a straight fight between them and the Muslims.

"Why pick a church when there are hundreds of neutral places all over Lagos? Is INEC promoting the church's vested interest in the 2023 election? Is some kind of connivance in the offing? INEC Lagos headquarters must prove to Lagosians that their votes will count. We call on Lagosians to watch the activities of INEC from now on because we are not convinced that it is going to be neutral. Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom.
