That brings the total spent by\u00a0Christian\u00a0presidents in Aso Rock to thirteen (13) years.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cMeanwhile Alhaji Musa Yaradua, a Muslim, spent three (3) years as president and the incumbent, President Muhammadu Buhari, will be completing his eighth year in office by the good Grace of Allah on 29th May, 2023. By simple\u00a0arithmetic, this will bring the total spent by the two Muslim presidents to eleven (11) years.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cMURIC is being generous, otherwise it would have towed the line of those who argue that Jonathan spent six (6) years and that will bring the total number of years spent by\u00a0Christians\u00a0to fourteen (14). In the same vein, we would have supported those who said Yaradua spent just two (2) years and that would have reduced the number of years spent by Muslims in power to ten (10) years.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cMuslims will be shortchanged by two or four years if a\u00a0Christian\u00a0becomes\u00a0president in 2023. The ideal thing is to\u00a0allow\u00a0another Muslim to spend only one term from 2023 to 2027. There will be no doubt about who takes the reins of power from 2007 because a\u00a0Christian\u00a0must be installed as president at that time. All controversies would have been removed but there is a controversy now.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cFor the\u00a0avoidance\u00a0of doubts, we reiterate our readiness to accept a\u00a0Christian\u00a0as president, but it must be at the right time. It will be unfair to install a\u00a0Christian\u00a0president in 2023 when Muslims still have a shortfall of two or four years. It is the group that has a two-year or four-year shortfall that should be given the\u00a0chance\u00a0for a make-up, not the group that has a two-year advantage.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cWe advise CAN to wait for its own time and to stop heating up the polity with untimely demands. CAN should also take a retrospective look at its attitude towards the incumbent since 2015 when a\u00a0Christian\u00a0president left the stage. Nigerians are already comparing CAN\u2019s weekly visits to Aso Rock in the days of Jonathan, a\u00a0Christian\u00a0president, to turn on the tap of gold and its extremely hostile stance to the incumbent, a Muslim president, since 2015. We really sympathise with CAN but facts are sacred. Figures and dates are sacrosanct.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">[DailyPost]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), has told the\u00a0Christian\u00a0Association\u00a0of Nigeria, CAN, that it is not yet the turn of a\u00a0Christian\u00a0to be the President of Nigeria.
