Nigerian Islamic newspaper for second straight year
By Gokhan Kavak
A Nigerian Islamic newspaper rated Turkey’s President
Tayyip Erdogan “Global Muslim Personality of 2019,” praising him Friday for
standing up for the rights of Muslims worldwide.
Publisher of Muslim News Nigeria, Rasheed Abubakar, said
the choice of Erdogan was "undisputable" for the influence and power
he wields within the Muslim world and in the international community.
"Due to his undisputable influence and power within
the Muslim world and in the international community, Erdogan took the first
place in this year as well," Abubakar said of the Turkish leader who was
also named the winner in 2018.
Mentioning that Turkish president always stands with
suffering people, he said that Erdogan always rises his voice on Syria,
Myanmar, Kashmir and Palestine.
Abubakar also noted Erdogan's effort at Kuala Lumpur
Summit for the unity of Muslims.
Erdogan emerged on top of the ratings that included
influential Muslim figures, including Malaysian leader Mahathir Bin Mohamad,
Somali-origin U.S. Muslim congresswoman Ilhan Omar, Gambian President Adama
Barrow and German-Turkish footballer Mesut Ozil.
