Islamic group issues strong warning to WAEC, reveal why terrorism has continued in Nigeria
WAEC yesterday debunked the report that it had released the May/June 2020 West African Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination timetable.MURIC’s position was contained in a press statement signed by its Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola and made available to DAILY POST on Tuesday.
“We wish to remind WAEC authorities of the need to take cognizance of the Friday Jumu’ah period for its Muslim candidates when preparing its timetable for WASSCE 2020 examination.“The ugly incidents of the past when Muslim candidates had to write papers instead of observing the Jumu’ah prayer will no longer be accepted. It will be resisted with every legitimate means available.
“WAEC should consider us as partners in progress. We are not enemies and we can always work together under the principle of mutual respect. Peace is always possible once the principle of equal rights, justice and fairplay are maintained. Unfortunately, however, everybody is talking about peace but nobody is talking about justice.
“We believe that religious violence is mere smoke. Yet there is no smoke without fire. The fire which ignites religious violence is provocation and compelling Muslim candidates to write examinations during the Jumu’ah period while Christians are not subjected to the same treatment on Sunday constitutes extreme provocation. It is religious persecution per se.
