MURIC CALLS FOR WITHDRAWAL OF SOLDIERS FROM TINUBU’S HOUSE


Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has condemned the presence of Soldiers, parading the main gate of the national leader of All Progressives Congress, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The Director of the group, Professor Ishaq Akintola, who said this today, in a Statement made available to Newsdeskng, noted that the soldiers allegedly became a permanent feature close to the entrance of the gate to Tinubu’s house along Bourdillon Road in Ikoyi.

According to the statement, MURIC denounced the misuse of Soldiers by the Presidency and
demanded the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of those soldiers.

 The release further stated that MURIC strongly suspects that the Presidency holds Tinubu responsible for debilitating its political empire. The same Tinubu also singlehandedly masterminded the takeover of the South West from PDP during the 2007 general elections. But he allegedly gave President Jonathan the same region in the 2011 presidential election after an alleged yet deceitful secret accord which he has refused to renew this time around. Is the siege on his home an attempt to cow him into entering into a similar secret accord in the 2015 polls? Or is it just for President Jonathan’s pound of flesh?

 They called on foreign embassies in Nigeria to keenly watch the unfolding spectacle. We also draw the attention of the international community, particularly the African Union and Nigeria’s immediate neighbours in West Africa to the dangerous game of using soldiers to silence the opposition.

The Rights Group therefore, charged Nigerians to remain vigilant, resolute but peaceful and
law-abiding.

I was not surprised when he said he prefer a military government that abhor indiscipline and can bypass the law of the land to nail corrupt individuals that have formed a parallel government (cabals) and hold the country as ra nsom for their own selfish political and economic aggrandizement to the modern slavery being parkaged as democracy. ✍ �I partially concurred with him because the constitution and rule of law that this corrupt individuals always use as a shield to perpetrate their sinister activities has been turned to a cobweb that can only hold light objects (commonmen) while it breaks the moment it sight heavy objects (cabals). ✍ �Yes! I have written series of articles to criticise Buhari failing administration but have never for once chastise him for undermining the rule of law (even though he has disobe

In Nigeria, every year fresh graduates travel across the nation to different states in a scheme called National Youth Service Corps popularly called NYSC. The NYSC scheme was an initiative of the Yakubu Gowon military regime in 1973 to reconstruct, reconcile and rebuild the country after the Nigerian Civil war. While many Nigerians have called on successive governments to scrap the scheme as they say it has outlived its usefulness, many others have asked that the scheme should be retained.

Apart from the uniform salary paid to youth corp members nationwide, state governments where the NYSC members are posted also give them some allowances.
