Muslim-Muslim Ticket: 'You are favouring Yorubas, Christians'- MURIC knocks Tinubu over appointments

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has come under heated criticism over political appointments by his government, as he is being reminded about his Muslim-Muslim ticket with Vice President Kashim Shettima.

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has urged Tinubu to ensure that all regions, faiths and sections benefit from political appointments made by his government while no ethnic group or faith is seen to be favoured above others.

Executive director of MURIC, Professor Ishaq Akintola, made the plea to Tinubu in a statement on Monday, September 18, Daily Trust reported.

He accused Tinubu of being biased with his appointments of mainly Yorubas and Christians to key positions in his government.

“We are shocked to our marrows that Tinubu has been appointing Christians and Yorubas mainly to key positions since the inception of this administration at the expense of Muslims.

“Many competent Muslims who campaigned and voted Muslim-Muslim ticket during the presidential election were ignored,” Professor Akintola lamented.

Prof. Akintola, however, advised the president to ensure balance in coming appointments, SaharaReporters confirmed.
