Ishaq Akintola, Director, MURIC

Ishaq Akintola, director, Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), says it will be in the best interest of Nigeria for President Muhammadu Buhari to win his re-election bid in 2019.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Muslim cleric said Buhari is keen on the progress of Nigeria and the welfare of the citizens.

Akintola reaffirmed the group’s commitment to the Buhari-led administration, saying it has the political will to fight corruption and punish offenders.

“Ex-governors and powerful politicians are being sent to jail for the first time in the history of this country. Huge amounts are also being recovered. It is a record performance,” he said.

“We marvel at his prudence, his simplicity and his altruism. He is simply a living legend. These are the qualities which we cherish in Buhari.
