Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has called on the national leadership of the People\u2019s Democratic Party (PDP) to call its Taraba chapter to order.<\/p>\n

The party had accused the Islamic organization of trying to cause religious conflict in the state.<\/p>\n

In its response on Friday, MURIC said the issue was not politics, but religious cleansing of Muslims in appointments.<\/p>\n

A statement by MURIC\u2019s Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola alleged that Governor Darius Ishaku has been marginalizing Muslims in Taraba.<\/p>\n

Akintola said MURIC\u2019s grudge against Ishaku has to do \u201cwith the way he has been trampling with impunity on Allah-given fundamental human rights\u201d of Islam faithful.<\/p>\n

He called for good governance and responsible leadership that will ensure justice, equity and fairness to all irrespective of ethnicity or faith.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernor Ishaku is taking his party\u2019s state chapter to a dangerous arena by using the party to fight Muslims. It is not done.<\/p>\n

\u201cMuslims are in the PDP in their millions. So they are in other political parties. It will not be so wise for the PDP to antagonise all Muslims in the party.\u201d<\/p>\n

MURIC said the victimization of Islam adherents \u201cdeeply hurts Taraba Muslims\u201d.<\/p>\n

The body added that the \u201cdenial of jobs to Muslims is aimed at impoverishing them\u201d.<\/p>\n

The statement condemned the alleged \u201creligious cleansing whereby Muslims are sacked and replaced by Christians\u201d.<\/p>\n

Akintola urged the PDP headquarters to investigate its allegations, accusing Ishaku of \u201ctrying to cover up his crimes by whipping up political sentiment\u201d.<\/p>\n
