The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) said if popular Plateau State cleric Reverend Ezekiel Dachomo, wants to be Vice President in 2027 he should wait for it.
Reverend Dachomo who is the Regional Leader of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN), is a strong advocate for Christian survival in the northern and central parts of the country where alleged Christian genocide is being committed by non-state actors.
MURIC raised their voice when Reverend Dachomo insisted that genocide against Christians was unchecked because Nigeria leadership is Muslim dominated, with President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima practicing the same religion.
‘”Shettima is a Muslim, the President is a Muslim. Is that not complete genocide to Christians in the political world? The way forward is to remove Shettima and I stand on it,” Dachomo had said in an interview.
But MURIC stated that Dachomo has gone on overdrive with his statements.
”A new twist was thrown into the Christian genocide debate yesterday, Monday, 1st December 2025 when the Regional Leader of the Church of Christ in Nations, Reverend Ezekiel Dachomo, exploded on national television alleging that the Muslim-Muslim ticket is equal to Christian genocide.
” MURIC finds this outburst emotive, explosive and kindergarten. It is articulated religiousity cum religious masturbation. It also amounts to a denial of the principles of democracy and the due process painstakingly taken by Nigerians from the electioneering campaigns down to the elections.
”It is equally a declaration of lack of faith in the long judicial exercise that followed the election through the appeal court up to the Supreme Court. It is subjudice. How can anyone suggest the removal of the vice president who emerged from a free, fair and credible election? If Dachomo wants to be the vice president of Nigeria, he must follow the well-known democratic process. He must wait for 2027,” said MURIC in a statement signed by it president Professor Ishaq Akintola.
