A statement on Monday by the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) describing Hanan Buhari’s use of presidential jet as a challenge to Nigerian youths not to be lazy has sparked criticisms on social media.

Hanan, a daughter of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari, was criticised over the weekend for flying on a presidential jet to Bauchi where she attended the durbar on Thursday.

She had attended the event as a professional photographer to document the event and other tourist attractions in the state.

Reacting to the uproar, MURIC’s director Ishaq Akintola in a statement said:

“Besides, that function passed a strong message to Nigerian youths, especially the Nigerian girl-child. It poses a challenge to them to eschew laziness.

“More importantly, it underlines the significance and relevance of every aspect of human knowledge. This is a very important message wailers missed.”

Akintola’s comment has attracted backlashes from Twitter users.

HYPOCRISY !
Will MURIC say the same if Jonathan’s daughter had done this ?
If a religious org. can not stand for the truth and the poor, who will ?
This big mouthed trash that called himself a Prof will not even be employed as a cleaner in the London university Hanan attends

This MURIC man is sick. Is Hannan a public office holder? What makes that trip official or not personal? Even if she’s there to represent the president, must she us presidential jet? So much for sycophancy.

Presidential jet not her father’s jet. Muric should just concentrate on worshipping God and stop interfering in political matters

Like seriously. Is buhari the first president Nigeria has had since 1999?
How come we never knew Good luck Jonathans kids while in Power cos those are people with integrity not like what buhari claims he has. Fake integrity.

It appears that all religious associations or groups in Nigeria are brain dead.

They ask you to pray for what your govt should ordinarily provide for you,
They housed all corrupt people,
They request stupid obedience to corrupt leaders
