A pro- Democracy and Non Governmental organisation, Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria HURIWA, has warned President Muhammadu Buhari that unless he reins in his belicose and careless talking ministers, the nation may be thrown into turmoils before, during or after the forthcoming elections.
HURIWA listed the ruling party’s top officials and some APC senators as agents of war who were pushing Nigeria to the precipice of irreversible civil war.
HURIWA, in a statement to DAILY POST, “specifically condemned the deployment of hate speeches by the ministers of Transport and Information Mr Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi and Lai Mohammed, the National Chairman of All Progressives Congress(APC) Mr Adams Oshiomhole; Ex-governor of Akwa Ibom state and decampee Senator Godswill Akpabio and the Media Assistants to the President, targeting prominent opposition politicians such as the Presidential flagbearer of the main opposition political party, Peoples Democratic party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar and other members of the PDP such as Senator Dino Melaye and Dr Doyin Okupe who are working for the election of their candidate and former Vice President.”
HURIWA also condemned the arrests and arbitrary detentions by EFCC and Police of those opposition politicians who have been slammed with trumped up charges.
The association condemned “Buhari’s administration for running illegal political prisons under some law enforcement institutions such as DSS and Nigeria Police force.”
It further accused President Muhammadu Buhari of keeping political prisoners such as erstwhile National Security Adviser Colonel Sambo Dasuki; leader of Shiites Islamic Movement Sheikh Ibraheem Elzaczacky and civil rights campaigner Mr Deji Adeyanju in clear breach of bail orders granted by different competent courts of law.
