Governor Ishaku accused of sacking Muslim workers
According to MURIC, Governor Ishaku of Taraba state sacked Muslim workers without following due process and replaced them with his Christian brethren.
The group said it backed the allegation by the Taraba Muslim Council that Governor Ishaku was marginalizing Muslims.

The group said a Christian woman was appointed in his place, Sahara Reporters also stated.
The statement by MURIC read partly:
“MURIC’s advice to governors who are Muslim-haters like Ishaku, Ortom, Wike, and Seyi Makinde is that they should not attempt to occupy any federal office. We have blacklisted Muslim-haters and Nigerian Muslims will ensure that they never get there.”
