JUST IN: MURIC sends message to Pa Fasoranti over Tinubu endorsement via politicsngr
Recall that Pa Fasoranti had on Sunday endorsed Tinubu. The Yoruba leader gave his blessings to Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State, when the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the 2023 election visited him at his country-home in Akure, Ondo State.
“We advise Pa Adebanjo to reflect on the events surrounding the June 12, 1993 presidential election, the role of the National Democratic Coalition in confronting military totalitarians and, in particular, the sterling quality of Bola Ahmed Tinubu among NADECO’s dramatis personae. “A major significance of Pa Fasoranti’s endorsement of Tinubu is that it is capable of uniting the Yoruba people as Muslims and Christians will now rally behind Tinubu in a united front. The likely fallout of this development is a future payback by Yoruba Muslims who have shown the willingness to support a Christian candidate in future if their Christian counterparts vote for Tinubu, a Yoruba Muslim, in the 2023 presidential election.
“It will be recalled that MURIC had earlier called for a Yoruba Muslim president as far back as February 2021. It is also worthy of note that MURIC reiterated the call for a Yoruba Muslim president again in May and October 2021, long before the presidential primaries.
