The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has appealed to President Joe Biden of the United States (US) to ignore Nigerians staging protests in front of the White House against the presidential election held in Nigeria.
MURIC’s director, Professor Ishaq Akintola yesterday urged the American president to compare the protesters with “cynical, deluded and fanatical Republicans who still believe that Trump won the election in America.”
According to MURIC, a few misguided Nigerians have staged demonstrations in front of the White House in the US against the outcome of the February 25, 2023 election held in Nigeria.
It appealed to Biden to ignore them, saying that the Nigerian election was free and fair to a large extent.
“Ours may not be a perfect system yet, but it is neither brutish nor undemocratic. In fact it was the best election ever conducted in Nigeria. The ruling party did not win a landslide but lost sensitive areas including seats in the National Assembly.
“An election has been held and the winner has been declared by the electoral body. We have a President-elect and that is sacrosanct by all democratic rules.
“Stakeholders are therefore expected to accept the outcome or approach the courts if not satisfied. But some unruly folks have chosen to use extrajudicial means to annul the election. Simply put, they are nothing but rejecters of democratic process, anarchists and confusionists.
“Those demonstrators belong to a group of destroyers who had identified the president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as the unbeatable candidate and the only major impediment on their path to the installation of fascism long ago.
