The Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC said that it will support Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s second-term bid as governor of Lagos State following his performance in his first term.
In a statement on Monday, the group’s director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola, said the governor’s score card reveals giant steps in critical areas.
The statement partly reads, “The people of Lagos state will join their counterparts from other states of the federation to exercise their franchise in a nationwide governorship election on Saturday, March 11.
“It is our humble submission that Sanwo-Olu is the best option and we urge Lagosians, regardless of religious background, to give him their votes.
“A vote for Sanwo-Olu is a vote for Tinubu, his mentor.
“This time, muslims will vote for a christian, Babajide Sanwo-Olu. He deserves our votes because of his brilliant performance.
“It may also be necessary to remind muslims in Lagos state that Sanwo-Olu gave instructions for the issuance of the hijab circular in the state.
“We therefore implore the good people of Lagos to troop out en masse to vote for Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu,” he said.
