The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has said that the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu was the only option for Muslims who are in the South Western region of the Nigeria.
The body has claimed that Muslim faithfuls in the South Western region of the country have no other choice than to support Tinubu.
The Director of MURIC, Professor Isiaq Akintola, revealed this while speaking to newsmen at the University of Ibadan, Oyo State.
Akintola said that Muslims in South West have been exposed to suffering for decades, and need to change the narrative by supporting Tinubu.
He further revealed that President and vice president who have been produced by the region have been non-Muslims.
He said, “MUSWEN endorsed the APC presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and I want to affirm that MUSWEN has no other choice. They don’t have any other alternative.
“MURIC has said it earlier that we are supporting a Muslim presidential candidate from the South West.
“Because the Yoruba Muslims have suffered for decades. All those who have been either President or Vice President are Christians.
“From Obasanjo to Diya to Shonekan and now to the current Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, all of them have been Christians.
“At this time, we are supporting MUSWEN for endorsing Tinubu. MURIC has said it earlier that we want a Muslim presidential candidate and since Tinubu has emerged as the APC candidate, the South West Muslims has no other choice than to support him”.
