Five years of Buhari’s Govt, a disappointment – HURIWA
In its assessment of the President Muhammadu Buhari five years in office as a civilian government, the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA has expressed strong disappointment, describing it as an embodiment of “inaction and systemic inefficiency.”
HURIWA, in a statement signed by its National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko and its National Media Affairs Director, Miss Zainab Yusuf said that the past five years of Buhari’s administration has been an embodiment of “inaction and systemic inefficiency.”
It said the inability of Federal Government to be proactive in its response to security matters in the country has led to thousands of Nigerians being killed by hoodlums and criminals.
“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 current government has dragged Nigeria backward in terms of all identifiable human development indices by about 60 years or more,” the statement read in part.
It lamented that the state of human rights violations in the past five years has assumed epic proportions just as impunity, lawlessness and lack of respect for the sanctity of human life have become so widespread that many parts of Nigeria are currently in a state of civil war.
“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”.
