Presidential Election Results: Think More About Nigeria - Islamic Group Tells Politicians
Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, has called on political party candidates to think more about Nigeria as the nation awaits the results of Saturday's elections.
The group's director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola, made the call in a statement released Monday in Lagos.
Akintola called on all candidates to avoid inflammatory statements and show confidence in the Nigerian electoral system.
The statement read: “Nigerians went to the polls on Saturday February 25 to choose their 16th President, Senators and Representatives.
“Today, Monday, February 27, the results are still trickling in.
“But already, there have been pockets of violence in a few places in the country, even if it has not been generalized, and they have been contained.
"MURIC calls on all candidates for the 2023 general elections to think more about Nigeria now and in the coming weeks."
MURIC added that no candidate should attempt to burn the bridge after crossing it as the lives of over 200 million Nigerians are at stake.
