By Ogechi Okorie Abuja (Precise Post) – Group under the auspices of the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), has vowed that the next President of Nigeria must be a Muslim from the South Western region of the country. The group wondering why no single Yoruba Muslim has ever ruled Nigeria since independence to date, argued that all Yoruba that have occupied the position have been Christians all along. MURIC’s argument is contained in a statement issued by its director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, on Friday, contending that Yoruba Muslims have been at the receiving end of political and religious persecution for too long. It said in the interest of fairness and equity, it’s time to allow a Yoruba Muslim occupy Nigeria’s number one seat come 2023. MURIC argued that even on the state level, Muslims in the South West have suffered marginalisation in the appointment of Commissioners and other political positions by Governors of Ekiti, Oyo, Ondo and Ogun. “Are Yoruba Muslims third class or second class citizens? Are we not equal before the law? “It is our strong belief that the …

Buhari Makes a Hero of Jonathan – Sonala Olumhense

December 7, 2020December 7, 2020 - by Editor - Leave a Comment

On March 31, 2015, Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan conceded his re-election contest by telephone. The man who took that call and received the happy news, General Muhammadu Buhari, was stunned but overjoyed: there would be no period of massive anxiety or turmoil, as is the case in most Nigerian elections. Mr. Jonathan had run an awful administration, which boosted the Buhari campaign and energised his supporters. For Buhari, it was the end of a long journey. His basic message: to conquer insecurity and corruption in Nigeria had resonated widely. Jonathan was expected to slink quietly into the shadows while the former army general showed the world how to reinvent Nigeria. And he was going to eat corruption—and the corrupt—alive. After all, he had boasted for many years that he was the only Nigerian who could do it. Jonathan was expected to be consumed by the Buhari conflagration along with his party, the Peoples Democratic Party. I was one of Jonathan’s biggest critics, particularly after the 2011 election for which I had compiled his campaign playbook. But Buhari’s political outlook tallied …

By Our Correspondent Abuja (Precise Post) – Political strategists from northern Nigeria who see former President Goodluck Jonathan as a unifying force to keep the country one are reviving plot about him contesting the 2023 presidential election and returning to Aso Rock. Those canvassing for Jonathan, it was gathered, is being driven by a Northern governor from the Northeast who served in the Jonathan cabinet and has a deep personal relationship with the Jonathan family. Though President Jonathan had earlier this year denied any pressure on him to contest and was focused on his foundation, very reliable sources say that the momentum for him was building up irrespective of his decision at the moment. The plot was now being actively sold among the Northern establishments desperate to find a comfortable ally after Buhari’s eight years. The attraction to the Northern oligarchy one source privy to the plot said was in soothing ethnic tension through transfer of power to a man who few would contend with in the South. “My brother, you know there is no way the North will support …
