Civil rights advocacy group- Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has warned Nigerians that the plot by the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to pick a Muslim running mate despite stiff opposition from a cross section of Nigerians was a sinister plot in its finality to hand over Nigeria in 2023 to remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists and ISWAP elements in the current administration.
HURIWA’s position was contained in a statement on Saturday signed by its National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, where it said the same situation has reduced Kaduna State to a graveyard and the killing fields of Christians and moderate Muslims since the last 5 years.
HURIWA said there are very strong indication that the serial successes recorded by ISWAP, Boko Haram and armed Fulani insurgents in different parts of Nigeria in carrying out bloody violence and mass killings of Nigerians and especially Christians coupled with so much of the jail breaks all across Nigeria including the latest in Kuje Prison Abuja must have been facilitated by sympathisers of terrorists and Islamists embedded inside of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s junta.

The Rights group said those same boko haram elements are behind the groundswell of campaigns in the media using many fronts including Christian loafers for Bola Ahmed Tinubu a hardcore Islamist to pick another Muslim extremist as his running mate.
HURIWA further stated that Boko haram elements and Islamists have penetrated many Northern States’ administrations just as the Rights group said the enthusiasm with which the likes of the Kano and Kaduna States governors are pushing the agenda of a Muslim-Muslim ticket even when such an unconstitutional practice has led to the destruction of Kaduna State, means that there is more to it than meets the eyes.
HURIWA said the Kano State government operates like a state in Afghanistan with Islamic police and full sharia law just as the Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai is a notorious Islamic and Fulani ethnic bigot who has made his intentions known that conquering political institutions in Nigeria is the ultimate goal of the jihad minded politicians in the All Progressives Congress with pathological hatred for non-Muslims and moderate Muslims.
Recall that the governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State had just said the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress Party (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has agreed to pick a Muslim vice Presidential candidate.
