He said: "That interruption brought us to where we are today. The same brains behind the 1985 interruption are back at their old game. But they will fail woefully this time around because Nigerians already know them as the real enemies of the people.
"The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has taken a cursory look at the allegations and concluded that they are subjective, emotive and lacks merit. The allegations do not truly reflect the realities on ground. They paint a gloomy picture of the country in general but our findings prove that such a picture remains in the figment of the authors’ imagination.
