AKINTOLA PLANS TURNING YORUBALAND INTO ANOTHER LEBANON — COPYIG

The Coalition of Progressive Yoruba Islamic Group (COPYIG) has accused Professor Ishaq Akintola, the leader of the Muslim Rights Congress (MURIC) for desperately planning to turn Yorubaland into another Lebanon.

This statement was signed by the group National Coordinator, Mallam Mukthar Abdullahi Okunade on Monday, January 27, 2020.

The group also added that if Akintola failed to repent, the God of Yoruba Nation will seek revenge against his plot to distort Yoruba civilisation.

"It is unfortunate that one Akintola who leads MURIC has consistently fan embers of disunity in Yorubaland hiding under the guise of Islam to set brothers against brothers, communities against communities and men against women."

"His thoughts are nothing but a "reflection of the ideology of Daech"  

"Akintola is a big threat to Southern Nigeria expecially the Yoruba, Igbo and South South who owes the key to the liberation of Southern Nigeria from Fulani stranglehold"

"Akintola has no followers. He is an extremist and a sadist. He appears to have suicide instint. We urge him not to attempt to drag the entire Yoruba along on his pathway of mischief and treachery against the Yoruba people."

 "In his riotous mind, blind rage and in a show of complete lack of wisdom, he claimed Amotekun is a Christian outfit. This shows how shallow and irresponsible Akintola is.  The head of Amotekun in Ogun State is a retired AIG, Subair; the man in charge of Amotekun in Ondo State is Aliu Tijani, a retired senior police officer, the person in charge of Amotekun in Ekiti State is Chief Jinadu. Aare Ona Kakanfo Iba Gani Adams who has been supporting Amotekun is a Muslim. THE Alaafin Oyo who backs Amotekun is a Muslim. We caution Akintola to halt is hatred for the Yoruba Nation.We urge him to learn to read books and bail himself out of his state of psychological disorder."

"The group added "If he fails to repent, the God of Yoruba Nation will seek revenge against his plot  to distort Yoruba civilisation."
