MURIC acronym for Muslim Rights Concern, has lauded President Buhari, hailing him as the best President the country has ever had since 1960. The religious group compared President Muhammadu Buhari to the likes of Olusegun Obasanjo, Umar Musa Yaradua, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and so on before arriving at this conclusion.
This was disclosed in a statement released by the Director of MURIC, Ishaq Akintola who measured Buhari’s achievement by the yardstick of how he tackled corruption and Insecurity, compared to his predecessors.
The statement also applauded Buhari for giving the right attention to railway and the bad road system which has long been abandoned by the past Leaders.
Read part of the statement below;
“We adjudge the Buhari administration as the best in post-independence Nigeria. Everyone agrees that corruption is the bane of Nigeria’s development. All other factors are peripheral but corruption is tangential. This implies that Nigeria will overcome all its challenges once corruption has been reduced to its barest minimum.
“This explains why President Muhammadu Buhari has been consistently consistent in tackling graft since his days as military head of state (1983-85) till today. Apart from the War Against Indiscipline (WAI), the period heralded transparency, probity and accountability in the public sphere.

“Unfortunately corrupt elements in society have also been fighting tooth and nail to frustrate his efforts. These include, but are not limited to, rapaciously greedy civil servants, a superfluously voracious business class and avariciously glutinous politicians.
“They were behind the 1985 coup which ousted the no-nonsense Buhari-Idiagbon regime. That coup was an anti-people action sponsored by established kleptomaniacs and executed by greedy, corrupt and overambitious elements in the military. That singular action also returned Nigeria to the path of unbridled waste, reckless graft and undiluted consumerism.
“Unfortunately the second coming of President Buhari in 2015 as a civilian president was almost castrated as the National Assembly was hijacked from the very beginning courtesy of ‘sarakitisation’ and ‘dogaratisation’ of parliamentary process. The president himself nearly lost his life.
