The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC)
has urged Ekiti sate governor, Ayo Fayose, to inform Nigerians when he plans to
commit suicide now that President Muhammadu Buhari is back in Nigeria.
This is contained in a statement
by MURIC president, Professor Ishaq Akintola, in his message welcoming Buhari.
He reminded Nigerians that Fayose
allegedly promised to commit suicide if Buhari returns to Nigeria alive.
“Well, the president is back and
Nigerians owe it a duty to ask whether or not Fayose would redeem his pledge.
Is Fayose a man of his words? Will Fayose commit suicide? Will he be man enough
to do just that?” Akintola quipped.
“Fayose is an interesting study
in political fanaticism and executive exuberance. The garrulous self-confessed
danfo conductor just pushed his luck too far this time around. We are
constrained to ask: Where is Fayose’s integrity?
“For closing his ears to Satanic
whispers, we single out Vice President Yemi Osinbajo for glowing encomiums.
Osinbajo demonstrated faith in Project Nigeria, exhibited strong character and
manifested self-satisfaction cum exemplary statesmanship.
“We recall the #ResumeorResign
and #OurMumuDonDo protests staged in Abuja and London against the continued
absence of Buhari. Those protesters manifested heartlessness, pettiness and the
inhumanity of man to man.
“There was no reasonable casus
belli for protests when no law has been broken and there was no palpable lacuna
in the presidency. How can you protest against a man for seeking medical
attention? It is the height of wickedness.
“It is clear to discerning minds
that Buhari’s departure from London was not due to pressure from protesters. He
had confirmed two weeks ago that he was physically fit but waiting for his
doctor’s orders. He had also said he was feeling homesick and willing to return
to Nigeria.
“Besides, those protests stood
logic on its head. Where on earth have you seen a man who won a presidential
election abandoning his plump job, the pump and pageantry just for the fun of
it? Where is it done?
“We have heard of sit-tight
syndrome in presidencies but we have never heard of any run-away phenomenon in
governance. Not in Europe, not in Asia, not to talk of it happening on the
African continent where leaders are known to love staying in power for decades.
“But the wind has blown and we
have seen the ruff of the hen. Looters used part of the humongous amounts of
money stashed away in secret accounts to rent idle and jobless stowaways to
stage protests. It is corruption fighting back. The sponsors of those protests
in Abuja and London should bury their heads in shame”.
dis absolutely d best message I hv seen in recent years.
