By Following the return of President Muhammadu Buhari to the country yesterday after his 103 days of medical vacation, Professor Ishaq Akintola, President, Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has asked the Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, an avid critic of the ruling All Progressives Congress, to fulfil his promise to commit suicide if President Buhari who he has said on different occasions that the president is either dead or incapacitated.
“It is quite germane at this juncture to remind Nigerians that Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State 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? 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?”
In the statement made available to BlackBox Nigeria, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) welcomed the president and called those asking him to resume or resign heartless.
“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, ” the statement reads.
The group also showered encomiums on Vice President Yemi Osinbajo for demonstrating faith in Project Nigeria, exhibiting strong character and manifested self-satisfaction cum exemplary statesmanship while acting as president.
