The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has on Friday described the Buhari’s administration in the past five years as an embodiment of “inaction and systemic inefficiency.”
It insisted that “Buhari has led Nigeria backward by 60years.”
HURIWA made the remark in a statement signed by its National Media Affairs Director, Miss Zainab Yusuf and National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko which reads: “As Nigerians observed a low key fifth anniversary of the current administration headed by President Muhammadu Buhari, it has been observed that due to cumulative inaction and systemic inefficiency, Nigeria’s national security has become so endangered as thousands of Nigerians are slaughtered by all kinds of freelance armed hoodlums and terrorists whilst the Government stands by and does nothing to put an end to these killings”.
The statement further reads: “The current government has dragged Nigeria backward in terms of all identifiable human development indices by about 60 years or more.
“The unfortunate scenario is that since the last five years, top government officials have misused their powers to turn Nigeria into a police state thereby clamping journalists who write unfavourable news stories into detentions with lots of framed up and trumped-up charges”.
HURIWA concluded by describing it laughable that the Federal Government had identified the dreaded Boko Haram insurgency group as terrorist and had chosen to treat the armed Fulani herdsmen and the murderous attackers in the North West States of Katsina, Sokoto and Zamfara as mere armed bandits.
