‎PRESS RELEASE:

‎MURIC COMMENDS ATIKU FOR VIBRANCY, VERSATILITY, RESILIENCE

‎An Islamic activism platform, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), has commended former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for his vibrancy, versatility and resilience.

‎The human rights group spoke on Tuesday, 8th September, 2026 through its Executive Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola.

‎The full statement reads:

‎"As the political arena came fully alive for the 2027 general elections, we find it necessary to commend one of the opposition figures in the presidential race, namely, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar for his vibrancy, versatility and resilience.

‎"Though he has contested for the position six times in the past, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has remained unrelenting. His doggedness has become legendary.

‎"In particular, the dynamism in his method of interrogating the activities of the current administration are fascinating, inspiring and didactic. The young generation of politicians have a lot to learn from his approach as an opposition figure.

‎"Atiku comes across as an experienced, articulate, bold and enterprising politician. He has been far ahead of Peter Obi in giving the Tinubu administration a run for its money although some Nigerians are yet to appreciate his efforts.

‎He remains the man to watch in 2027.

‎"This commendation should not be mistaken for an endorsement, MURIC has no preferred candidate or political party yet. We will speak on that at the appropriate time."
