The Islamic human rights advocacy group, the Muslim Rights Concern, has commended Pa Reuben Fasoranti, the national leader of the Pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, for endorsing the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, as the preferred candidate for Nigeria’s 2023 presidential election.
The PUNCH reports that Fasoranti gave his blessings to Tinubu on Sunday, October 30, 2022, when the latter visited him at his country home in Akure, Ondo State.
MURIC hailed the development through its director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, on Thursday, November 3, 2022, describing the earlier endorsement of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, by Afenifere’s national leader, Ayo Adebanjo, as “illogical.”
The statement read, “The national leader of the Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, has endorsed Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the preferred presidential candidate for Nigeria’s 2023 presidential election.
