Islamic organisation, Muslim Rights Concern, on Monday, advised President Muhammadu Buhari to ban the outgoing US President, Donald Trump.
According to MURIC, Buhari must summon the courage to ensure that travel ban is placed on Trump and his allies over their disappointing role in the US 2020 presidential elections, particularly the storming of the Capitol.
MURIC made the call in statement signed by its Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola.
The group berated Trump for his role in the election, which they said attempted to portray US democracy in a bad light.
Recall that Trump had come under heavy criticism after he reportedly incited his supporters to attack the US Capitol in a bid to stop the certification of President-elect, Joe Biden’s win.
He was also said to have called some Republican Senators to make further moves to reject the election while the riot was going on at the Capitol.
Akintola, “MURIC calls on the Federal Government to speak up on the American debacle. America’s condemnation of African and other third world countries have been deafening enough to attract a tornado of backlashes at this moment.
“We are not happy that FG has remained silent. China, Turkey and Iran have spoken up. The voice of Africa must also be heard and the continent is looking unto Nigeria to lead the way.
“We must tell America to its face that tyranny is colour blind and dictators can emerge from the least expected places on earth. There is no country which is occupied by angels only, least of all America.
“We call on FG to place travel ban on outgoing President Donald Trump and his key allies. It is hoped that other African countries will key to the idea. It just has to be on record that once upon a time, America produced a tyrant, a bully and an insurrectionist.”
