MURIC DEFENDS INEC, WARNS AGAINST JUNE 12 CRISIS’ REPEAT

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) Tuesday alleged that the opposition was trying to use the court to stop the ongoing electoral process, warning this was how the June 12, 1993 crisis started.

Executive Director of MURIC, Professor Ishaq Akintola, warned that any attempt at imposing another June 12 would not be accepted.

Addressing a press conference yesterday, MURIC said the allegation by the opposition parties that the election was rigged was illogical when many incumbent governors lost out in their bids to go to the Senate.

Akintola also denounced what he called the “unsolicited and jaundiced intervention” of former President Olusegun Obasanjo who called for the cessation of the collation of results.

MURIC however urged INEC to ignore the cries of the opposition and go ahead with the process even as it condemned the decision of the opposition agents to storm out of the INEC situation room
