MURIC also appealed to critics of President Muhammed Buhari’s war against corruption to employ decorum, finesse and parliamentary language in their quest for attention.

The group in the statement which was signed by its director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola and a copy sent to our correspondent in Abeokuta, charged the President to remain undaunted and focused in his anti corruption crusade.

The religious group accused the past administration of President Goodluck Jonathan of romancing with those it referred to as ‘international drug barons’.

“We laud the sobriety of President Buhari, we charge him to remain undaunted. Mr. President must remain focused in his anti-corruption crusade.

“We affirm that corruption is party-blind and unlike Jonathan who hobnobbed with international drug barons and gave national awards to kleptomaniacs and those who smeared Nigeria’s name abroad by jumping bail in London while disguised as women.

“We repose full confidence in Buhari as the man who will bring pen-thieves to their knees,” the group posited.

On the recent sacking of leaders of some agencies and parastatals byBuhari, MURIC described the action as a welcome development, giving kudos to the President for taking the bold steps.

“The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) give kudos to the president for taking this bold step. We find the reversal of all appointments and sacks carried out by the former ruler mandatory because they were executed with the style of a rampaging herd of elephants keen on bringing down anything that stood in its way.

“At a point, Nigerians started asking themselves if, at best, Aso rock under Jonathan did not need the attention of psychologists.

“This question became necessary when in the last few days, Jonathan displayed great dexterity and utmost pleasure in relieving Nigerians of their legitimate sources of income. The cry of vendetta rented the air and not a few social critics called for caution,” he averred.

It would be recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari recently sacked the Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports Authority, Alhaji Sanusi Ado Bayero. He has simultaneously appointed Alhaji Habib Abdullahi as his replacement.
