9th National Assembly: Muslim group attacks CAN for demanding Christian Deputy senate president, Reps Speaker - Daily Post Nigeria

MURIC stated that CAN was “laying a bad precedent” by demanding for the position of the Deputy Senate President or Speaker of the House of Assembly in the next National Assembly.

“Why is CAN agitating now? Where was CAN when Christians took all the principal offices in the NASS not too long ago? Where was CAN when David Mark was Senate president, Patricia Ette was speaker of the House and Aloysius Katsina Alu was the Chief Justice of Nigeria parri pasu? Was it so long ago such that we could become overwhelmed by collective amnesia?

“We call on the All Progressive Congress to ignore CAN’s latest demand. It is an unworthy distraction. It is unworthy because it was the same CAN that campaigned vigorously in the churches against the emergence of the APC as winner in the 2019 general elections. Therefore, CAN does not deserve APC’s attention.

“The bulk of the votes that gave President Muhammadu Buhari his second tenure came from the North and Muslims. Figures do not lie. How can CAN start an agitation for parity so soon? Is it because nobody demanded an apology for the campaign of calumny and hate speeches? Is it fair to reap where you did not sow?

“The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs , several professional groups in the country, Nigerian traditional rulers, National Association of Nigerian Students, the United Kingdom, United States, European Union, African leaders, etc have all congratulated the winner.

This MURIC is the elite version of Boko Haram. They hate fairness, equity and peace. Yet they were telling Gov. Fayemi to give appointments to Muslims.
