MURIC stated this in a press release signed by its director, Professor Ishaq Akintola and made available to reporters on Monday.
According
to report, the Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, has mocked pastor Paul Adafarasin
of the House on the Rock of over his recent comment concerning the upcoming
general elections.
Adefarasin
on Sunday said there were plans for Christian leaders to get 15 million more
voters ahead of the 2023 general election but in response to this, MURIC
insisted that Nigerian Muslims have the overall majority.
Backing
its eark Muslim rights campaigners said that it was shocking to believe that
Christians with their one man one wife doctrine and at most four children in
each family, could think they majority over Muslims who are permitted to many
wives as possible and have even up to sixteen children in each family.
“The
founder of the House On the Rock, Pastor Paul Adefarasin has allegedly revealed
the plan of Christian leaders to get 15 million more voters ahead of the 2023
general election. But Adefarasin must be joking if this is true. Nigerian
Muslims have the overall majority,” MURIC said.
“There is
a grand plot to disenfranchise Muslim voters. They have enrolled their church
members as Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ad hoc staff. They
have filled sensitive posts in INEC offices with their church members.”
Further
raising an alarm, MURIC claimed that Christian leaders would machinery in
motion for massive rigging of the presidential election, adding that Muslims
would be disallowed from registering as voters before the election.
The group
claimed that Christians in the country had always used their church members as
officials of the electoral umpire to stop Muslims from registering and
collecting PVC.
